Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating height varies from driver to driver: some sit high for an open view over the bonnet, others lower for a more settled feel. Body proportions and long habit explain much of that difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the lights, wipers and hazard switch sit while the car is still parked means less searching for them later. A few minutes before setting off usually covers what an ordinary journey asks for.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on a long drive is a separate matter from playing music through the speakers. Where a suitable socket or cable is available, charging continues whichever audio source happens to be selected.
