Comfort and Convenience
Seating preferences are personal. Some people choose to sit high and upright, others further back with arms extended. Height, build and driving habits vary, so a position one person settles into easily can suit the next passenger poorly.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent before departure finding the wipers, lights, demisting and hazard controls is rarely wasted. Weather and daylight change during a journey, and knowing where a control sits means fewer decisions made while already moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Charging is a need of its own, separate from calls or listening. A phone running navigation for hours drains steadily, so where a suitable power source is available, keeping the device topped up matters throughout the route.
