Default my 5 yr/50K 2020 V90 Inscription ownership experience

I purchased my factory ordered V90 in June of 2020. The following is a recap of my 5 years of ownership experience. My current mileage is 49467.

Problems/Issues: (all covered under factory warranty)

Odometer Date Issue
323 miles 7/01/2020 Software update to fix BLIS
5232 miles 4/06/2021 Software update to fix blank center screen
7111 miles 6/02/2021 Software update to fix BLIS
18386 miles 6/26/2022 Replaced clogged wiper blade nozzles
27751 miles 6/01/2023 Fixed sunroof gasket gap
39565 miles 4/22/2024 Replaced auxiliary battery
41400 miles 7/02/2024 Replaced rear iron gate support rods

5 year cost to own:

$ 1051 Routine service not covered under factory warranty*
$ 3273 Parts (e.g., tires, metal engine skid plate, PPF, etc)
$ 6956 Gas (mostly Costco 93 octane)
$ 5500 Car insurance

$ 16780 Sub-Total
$ 29779 Estimated 5 year depreciation cost based on KBB for my VIN

$ 46559 Total estimate 5 year cost-to-own

$ 0.9412/mile Estimated cost per mile after 49467 miles and 5 years

* While the factory recommendation for oil change service is every 12 months or 10K miles, I averaged every 5-to-6 months and 6K or so miles.

26.40 mpg overall (avg around 23-25 city and 30-32 highway)

8 mm remaining all brake pads per tech at 49,467 miles

The numbers are what they are. With the above said, after 5 years of use, when I park at a parking lot or local park, I still get the occasional person who stops by to ask questions about my car or complement it. Just happened again yesterday.

Seem a lot of viewers of my thread, but no comments. What's your experience? Is it similar or different than mine?

2019 V90 Inscription, same experience in parking lots. I'm looking for factory service manual, 2 liter T5. Hopefully pdf or online. Want to start doing simple maintenance myself. YouTube is great substitute right now.

Just curious. What has your experience been since taking ownership of your 2019 V90 Inscription?
