Comfort and Convenience
Seating preferences vary because bodies do: height, leg length and back shape all change where a person wants to sit relative to the wheel. Two drivers sharing a car often settle on noticeably different positions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent learning where the controls for lights, wipers and ventilation sit is best found before setting off, since a departure day is a poor moment to search an unfamiliar dashboard.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged is a separate matter from playing music through the car or taking a call hands-free; if a vehicle supports one, it does not automatically follow that it handles the others.
