Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference. Some drivers like sitting high for a clear view of kerbs and crossings, others sit lower and closer to the wheel; height, build and long habit all play a part.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth locating the wipers, lights, demister and hazard switch. Preparation of that kind means a change in weather or light becomes a simple, already-known action rather than a search.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phones lose charge quickly when navigation runs, so a power point matters on longer errands. Where hands-free calling is available, it keeps conversation away from the handset, while listening choices are usually made before departure.
