Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter. Some drivers prefer to sit low with their legs stretched out, while others want a high, upright view over the bonnet, so the same cabin suits them differently.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It costs little to locate the hazard switch, lights and demisters before setting off. Doing so early means they are not being hunted for later, when traffic, rain or darkness is already taking up attention.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone running navigation drains quickly on a long drive, so a charging point within easy reach of the driver's seat is genuinely useful. Where one is fitted, the phone still works on arrival.
