Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating height varies: some drivers want an upright position with a clear view over the bonnet, while others settle lower in the car. Body proportions and long-standing habit both feed into it.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Locating wipers, lights and the demister by feel before setting off spares you searching for them later. A few stationary minutes in an unfamiliar car usually covers the controls that matter.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone charging and audio are separate needs: a cable that keeps the battery topped up on a commute does not necessarily carry sound. Where hands-free calling is offered, that is a third function again.
