Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter. Some people prefer to sit high for a clear view over the bonnet, while others choose a lower, more reclined posture, so one car can suit two drivers differently.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before an unfamiliar journey, a minute spent in the parked car locating the lights, wipers and hazard switch is time well used. Hunting for them later, in sudden rain, takes attention away from driving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Navigation apps drain a phone battery quickly, so keeping the phone powered matters on a long drive. Where a suitable socket or USB port is within reach of the cradle, that need is covered simply.
