Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference: height, reach to the wheel and how upright a back feels are judged differently by each person. Two drivers sharing one car will often settle on noticeably different settings.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Locating wipers, lights and demisting before setting off is simple preparation, and it is easiest while the car is stationary. Rain or dusk rarely announces itself in advance on a city trip.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Short hops rarely last long enough to refill a battery, so a phone used for navigation may end the day lower than it started. Where a charging point is provided, it simply slows that drain.
