Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating height is one common example: some drivers like sitting tall with a wide view over the bonnet, others lower and more enclosed. Body proportions and long-standing habits explain much of that difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Wipers, lights, demisting and mirror adjustment are worth locating while parked, since searching for them later competes with the road for attention. A few unhurried minutes turns unfamiliar switchgear into something you can reach without looking.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged during the day is a separate matter from playing music or taking calls. If a suitable power source sits within reach of where you rest the phone, daily routines stay simple.
