Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a clear example: some people prefer cool air moving constantly, others find steady warmth easier to live with. Height, clothing habits and the usual length of a journey all pull these preferences in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with the mirrors, lights and wipers before pulling away means nothing has to be searched for in motion later. Such preparation costs little and is worth repeating whenever the car is unfamiliar.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged matters most on long drives, particularly when navigation runs the whole way. Where a suitable power source or cable is available, checking its position before departure is easier than reaching for it mid-journey.
