Comfort and Convenience
Seating preferences vary widely: some people sit upright and close to the wheel, others further back with the backrest reclined. Height, arm length and long-standing habit all feed into what someone settles on.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes spent locating the light switch, hazard button and demister while parked means those actions are already familiar later. Preparation of this kind is simply part of getting used to an unfamiliar cabin.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level matters most on long days out, when a phone is used for navigation throughout. Where a car offers a charging point, keeping the phone topped up stays separate from playing music.
