Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position varies widely: some drivers want to sit high for a clear view of kerbs and junctions, while others prefer to sit low and close to the wheel. Height, reach and habit all differ.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it helps to know where the wipers, lights, demister and hazard switch sit. Weather and traffic rarely wait while a driver searches, and that kind of preparation costs only a minute at the kerb.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery is the usual everyday worry: a day of errands with navigation running drains it. Where a car offers a charging point, topping up en route can matter more than audio quality or hands-free calling.
