These buttons don`t allow me to scroll the radio stations and they skip tracks, not scroll.

Don't know about tracks but those buttons scroll the radio stations. helps to set favourite stations in the LHS set up screen.

I'm in the smaller group of disliking the newer sensus interface, I like physical buttons, ok I don't have a newer volvo but I do drive them on a regular basis, I like the 3 buttons in mine that I can feel without having to take my eyes off the road
It would be good if you could scroll up/down and click it in like the old scroll wheels on the steering wheel Or even if they had an 'app' that changes at the bottom in the bit that your MPG on the 'home' page or current status shows, like a drive mode, with 3 buttons comfort/dynamic/eco to mimic the active 4c chassis layout on the older generations |

Sensus in SPA - I just wish they'd put rotary physical dials for the temperature settings. It's a function you use whilst driving, and to have to navigate the touch screen is no better than using your mobile phone when driving.
Yes yes, I know there is voice control but for something that is so used whilst driving, a rotary dial is preferable. Your hand knows where to find it by instinct. |

Personally, I've not had a problem with the temperature controls as I keep it at 20oC pretty much year round, but I know what you mean.
As I've banged on about before though, I also agree Volvo have poorly implemented a lot of the Sensus system. It seems to me it's been put together by a software engineer, so it works rather than is 'designed'. As steadvex said, the big screen in the middle is crying out for customisation and virtual shortcut buttons like those in BMWs. I've also mentioned the little circle button on the steering wheel which could be easy assigned different tasks - eg: long press - Pure/Eco or double tap for Power mode. It's all about making it as easy as possible to action the things you need most often. Drive mode being one of them for me personally. Or we get much better voice assistance, so you can shout "Volvo, give me Powerrr" at the car. Regional sales reps would love that Next model perhaps.

It would be useful if drive mode changes could be voice controlled. In fact I’ve not fully bottomed out the voice control yet, so far the only thing I am struggling with - great car!
