Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating height differs widely between people. Some drivers want to sit high for a clear sense of where the bonnet ends, others prefer a lower, more enclosed position, and body proportions and long habit explain much of that split.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes parked to find the lights, wipers and demister turns unfamiliar movements into routine ones. Preparation counts most for functions that weather or darkness may call for suddenly, when there is no time to search.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on a journey is a separate need from playing audio through it, and from taking a call hands-free. Where a car provides a suitable socket or connection, those needs can usually run alongside each other.
