Comfort and Convenience
Seating preferences differ because bodies differ: a taller driver usually settles further back from the wheel, while a shorter one sits closer in order to reach the pedals comfortably.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Finding the lights, wipers and hazard switch while still parked means you are not hunting for them later, at a moment when your attention belongs on the road ahead.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone running low on charge mid-journey is a common annoyance; where a charging option is available it simply keeps the battery topped up, which is separate from playing music.
