Agreed, and you don't even need to wait, you just say 'hey Google and your command' you don't need to wait for the beep.

I think AAOS is much better now that it was at the start, 2.9 brings a few useful features back, like cruise on the steering wheel, phone info back in drivers display and HUD. In terms of the car, the newer models are far superior to the earlier ones in every aspect, build, NVH. Im on my third, previously a S90 D4, then a T5. My new T6 blows both of those cars out of the water.

I would strongly disagree with “build”. Well not really build but built-in features. Just a few examples (V90 CC):
- No optional 230V sockets in the rear
- Rear seats are not perforated anymore
- No comfort switches to fold the rear seats in the boot
- No manual brightess adjustment next to the boot release button
- Fewer options for interior customisation (fewer wood trim options and predefined for the upholstery)
- No rear arm rest tray
- No self-parking feature (I know it’s useless but instead of developing it, they removed it completely)
- Extremely poor performance and uncontrollable boot lights, I can only keep them on if I re-open the boot. They barely make any light…
- I know this is a new feature, but the wireless charger is also extremely low quality stuff. Barely charges but heats up easily (Same results with i12Pro, i14Pro)
And the list goes on… these are only the ones which came to my mind right now.

Some of these features were pointless so were removed, my only gripe is the lack of cooling in the glovebox, how much did that save??

No issues with boot lights in mine?

Interior colours are very country specific, we can't even get Amber here now, blonde or charcoal, that's your lot. The rear seat release is weird, its still electrical, but done on the seat, very odd decision.
