Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter. Drivers of different heights and builds settle on different distances from the wheel and pedals, and two people sharing one car will often want noticeably different arrangements.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It is worth learning where the basic controls are before setting off, rather than searching for them in motion. Lights, wipers and demisting are the ones most often needed suddenly, and unfamiliar cars vary.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged is the common daily need, since navigation apps drain a battery over a commute. Where a suitable power outlet is available, topping up during the drive removes that worry.
