Comfort and Convenience
Comfort preferences are personal: a seating position that suits a tall driver can feel remote to a shorter one, and cabin temperature is argued over in most households. What counts is how easily each person finds their own settings.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a couple of minutes with the controls before setting off is simply good preparation. Mirrors, seat and lights are quicker to sort while stationary than to hunt for once the car is already moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged is a separate question from playing music through the car or taking a call. If charging is available on board, a long journey ends with a usable battery rather than a flat one.
