Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter: height, leg length and driving habits all shape where someone wants to sit. A setting that suits one driver can feel too upright or too distant to another.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It is worth spending a few minutes with wipers, lights and mirrors while parked, especially in an unfamiliar car. Working out where they are beforehand means less searching later, when conditions change on the move.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on a long drive is a common concern, since navigation apps drain a battery quickly. Where a suitable power socket or cable is available, the phone can top up as you travel.
