Comfort and Convenience
Preferred cabin temperature varies widely: what one person finds pleasant, another finds stuffy or chilly. Height and build also shape how people like to sit, so shared cars rarely suit everyone identically.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Wipers, lights and demisting are needed at short notice, often in poor weather. Locating them while parked, before setting off, means less searching later when conditions change unexpectedly.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone that runs low on a long drive is a common nuisance, so a charging point within reach matters. Where one is provided, the cable route to the holder is worth considering.
