Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal: height, arm length and the way someone likes to see the bonnet all pull in different directions. Two drivers sharing one car rarely settle on the same compromise.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes spent before setting off, finding the lights, the demister and the hazard switch, is preparation rather than delay. Doing it while stationary means nothing has to be learned mid-journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Charging is the commuter's recurring need: a phone used for navigation drains steadily, so where a cable can run and rest matters. If a socket is available, its position decides whether the phone stays tidy.
