Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is largely a matter of preference: some drivers sit high for a clear view over the bonnet, others lower and further back. Build, habit and the length of the journey all pull that choice in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes spent locating the hazard switch, the demister and the light controls before setting off means they are not being hunted for later. Preparation of that kind simply removes one distraction from the drive.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone runs down faster on a long trip when navigation is left on screen for hours. Where a suitable power outlet and cable are available, keeping it charged mainly matters for what comes after arrival.
