Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position varies with height, build and long-standing habit: some people want to sit high and close to the wheel, others further back. That is why no single setting suits a household where one car is shared.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment with the basics before setting off, such as lights, wipers, mirrors and demisting, means not searching for them later. Sorting this out while stationary is simply easier than improvising once traffic is moving around you.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A flat phone is the usual errand-day worry, since a morning spent following navigation drains a battery quickly. Where onboard charging is available, what matters practically is that the phone lasts the whole loop of stops.
