Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a classic point of disagreement: one passenger wants warmth while the driver prefers cooler air. Preferences also shift with clothing and season, so shared journeys often come down to agreeing on a setting.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Locating the essential controls before setting off is simple preparation. Lights, wipers, the hazard switch and the demister are best found while stationary, so they are not being hunted for once the journey is under way.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged across a long drive is a practical need in its own right, separate from calls or music. Where a power source is available, a cable long enough to reach your usual holder position helps.
