Comfort and Convenience
How upright a driver prefers to sit varies with height, leg length and plain habit, so two people sharing a car rarely settle on the same position. Such preferences are personal rather than right or wrong.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before a first journey, a few unhurried minutes spent stationary is usually enough to locate the basic switches and see how information is laid out in front of the driver. Preparation costs little and is easily repeated.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Taking a call hands-free matters most on routine journeys, and it is a different requirement from streaming music or simply topping up a phone's battery. Where such functions exist, each is worth trying once beforehand.
