Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating height varies widely: some drivers like sitting low with a clear view of the instruments, while others want a raised position for a longer view down the road. Build and habit both play a part.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Wipers, lights and demisting are easier to find when they have been located once while parked, so an unfamiliar car rewards a few calm minutes before setting off rather than during a journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
On longer drives a phone used for navigation drains steadily, so somewhere to charge it becomes the practical priority. Where a USB or socket is provided, its position decides how tidy the cable sits.
