New 2024 Volvo owner

No, but I have a new '23 XC60 B5
I have owned a new '23 XC60 B5 Ultimate since April. I really like the car, but there are so many annoying problems with the User Interface that are adding up for me. I just don't understand why Volvo left out so many things on the Volvos with the the Google system. The Sensus system they got rid of in 2022 was so much better. The Google system is inferior and has so much less.

I therefore have no familiarity with the Sensus system so am not qualified to compare, but I do like the Google system. One thing I like is that if I mark a destination on my PC or phone it is right there as a destination in my car. This is very handy for planning an excursion before hopping into the car.
I traded in a VW Passat where the closest thing to that was a "send to car" feature on their PC application but that broke down when VW switched to the 5G data system. I think the car is hard-wired to 3G. An expensive hardware upgrade (not even available for my particular model year) was required to get that support. I felt abandoned by VW.

We just picked up a 2024 XC60 B5 Core for my wife and she absolutely loves it. She had a '98 S70 GLT, '00 S70 GLT and an '02 S60 T5 all bought new way back when. She really missed driving a Volvo so we went back and she is on cloud 9 now. Other than the convoluted user interface, it's a fantastic car.
