Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating height differs widely between people. Some drivers want to sit high for a clear view over the bonnet, while others settle lower and more enclosed; body proportions and long habit explain most of that difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Knowing where the wipers, lights and demisting controls sit means less searching when weather or light changes mid-journey. A few minutes spent stationary, working through the switches, makes those functions easier to find later by feel.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone use on the move breaks into separate needs. Navigation drains a battery, so somewhere to charge matters on longer runs; hands-free calling, where available, keeps conversation manageable; and music playback is a different function again.
