Comfort and Convenience
Where a driver likes to sit varies more than people expect: torso and leg proportions differ, and so does the preference for an upright posture or a reclined one. Two people of similar height often settle differently.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth finding where the lights, wipers, demister and hazard switch sit while the car is stationary. Searching for them later, mid-manoeuvre or in sudden rain, turns a small task into a distraction.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone used for navigation drains quickly, so keeping it topped up on the move is the practical need. If a charging option is available, running the battery down before an evening errand becomes less of a worry.
