100%. It's a more mature product and its free with my phone. I dont have to pay some premium connected services or whatever.
So you get free unlimited music with no commercials?

I'm gonna echo this! I just recently started using Google Assistant switching from Amazon Alexa. I got annoyed with Alexa because of frequent "connectivity" issues. Alexa would prompt that I am disconnected from the internet when I know in fact that I'm connected. I have smart light switches for just about every light fixture inside and out side my home. The built-in Alexa service in my Ranger has let me down numerous times, especially when returning home at night and I ask Alexa to turn on my outdoor lighting. The jury is still out, but I have not yet had any issues using Google Assistant. I also use Android Auto to interface with the infotainment system, and I did not know about holding down the Command button to activate Google Assistant. While I normally use the "Hey Google" prompt to activate Google Assistant, use of the Command button is a welcomed bonus!
