Comfort and Convenience
Comfort is personal: one person wants to sit high with a clear view forward, while another prefers a lower position and more room above the head. Body proportions and driving habits differ, so a single setting rarely suits everybody.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth a few minutes to find the essentials — hazard lights, demisting, wipers — particularly in a car that is still new to the driver. Preparation done while stationary does not have to be repeated in traffic.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone battery often runs low across a long day of navigation, so somewhere to keep it topped up while driving is useful. Charging remains a separate question from whether calls or music are routed through the car.
