Comfort and Convenience
Where a driver likes to sit is a matter of taste as much as proportion. Some people settle upright and close to the wheel, others prefer more distance and straighter arms, and two regular users rarely agree.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Anyone taking over an unfamiliar car benefits from a quiet moment before setting off. Locating the mirror controls, the demister and the horn while stationary costs nothing and removes small distractions from the opening kilometres.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Taking a call while driving is a different requirement from playing music, since it depends on clear speech in both directions. Where hands-free calling is supported, connecting the phone before departure beats attempting it en route.
