Comfort and Convenience
Comfort preferences differ because people do: a seat position that suits a tall driver can leave a shorter one sitting low against the wheel. Preferred cabin temperature and airflow vary in much the same way.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment with the main controls before setting off means less searching for them afterwards. Lights, wipers and screen demisting are worth locating while the car is still stationary.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone running low on charge during a long drive is a familiar nuisance. Where a charging option exists, it works separately from whether calls or music are routed through the speakers.
