Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is the classic point of disagreement: someone sitting in direct sun, or still wearing a coat, wants something different from the person beside them. Preferences vary with clothing, build and simple habit.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A minute spent before setting off, locating the hazard switch, the demister and the light controls, means fewer distractions later. Preparation counts for more in an unfamiliar car, when passengers are talking or the route is new.
Multimedia and Connectivity
On longer trips a passenger's phone often runs the navigation and drains quickly, so somewhere to charge it matters. Where charging points exist, their position decides who can reach one without stretching.
