Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter. Taller people often want more distance from the pedals, while others prefer sitting closer and higher for a clearer view forward, and preferences shift with journey length too.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Mirrors, lights and demisting are quicker to sort out while the car is still stationary. Handling them before pulling away leaves fewer unfamiliar actions to work through once traffic is moving around you.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on a long drive is a different need from playing music or taking calls. Where a charging option exists, what matters is simply that the phone still works on arrival.
