Comfort and Convenience
Where a driver likes to sit relative to the wheel and pedals varies with height, leg length and habit. Someone used to an upright posture often judges a cabin differently from someone who prefers sitting low.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Taking a few moments before setting off to locate lights, wipers, mirrors and climate controls means less searching later. Learning these while stationary is simply easier than working them out on an unfamiliar road.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged during longer journeys is a common need, and where a power source sits decides whether a cable stretches awkwardly across the cabin. If wireless charging is available, placement matters equally.
