Comfort and Convenience
Seating preferences vary with height, build and habit: one driver sits upright and close, another further back with arms extended. Because no single position suits everyone, comfort usually begins with taking a moment to settle in.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few stationary minutes in an unfamiliar car is worthwhile: locating the hazard lights, the demister and the wiper controls. Preparation simply means fewer unknowns to work out later, when attention is needed elsewhere.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone charging is a need of its own: navigation apps drain a battery quickly on a long drive. Where a charging point is available and within reach, topping up en route becomes routine rather than something to plan.
