Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference: some drivers want a high, commanding view of the road, while others sit lower and closer to the wheel. Body proportions and driving habits explain most of the difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the wipers, lights and demister controls sit before setting off means one less thing to hunt for in traffic. A few minutes parked is the cheapest time to explore an unfamiliar cabin.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Errand days drain a phone quickly, so somewhere to keep it charged is a practical need. Where a socket or charging pad is provided, its position and the cable length decide how usable it really is.
