Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature divides people more than almost anything else. One passenger finds a cool draught refreshing on a short hop across town while another wants it off entirely, and neither preference is unreasonable.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Preparation covers the seating position itself — mirrors set, belt routed correctly, seat adjusted — all settled while parked. A driver who has already done this is not adjusting anything at the first junction.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Hands-free calling has a practical meaning in town: a conversation continues without the phone leaving its holder. Where such a function is offered, pairing it once before setting off is usually simpler than roadside.
