I have found that the Alexa driving assistant is noticeably more functional than the Ford Assistant when it comes to navigation. Alexa is almost always able to find driving directions to my intended destination while Ford Assistant often doesn't find the destination or doesn't have any suggestions. Not sure I will pay for the Alexa subscription after the included trial ends, but it works so much better.

Siri has been doing a good job without a separate subscription.

I've found the Alexa integration very useful as well. Great for playing Music, weather, directions, etc.

Note - I do have an Amazon Prime subscription and their music plan as well.

Android Auto and it's voice assistance is very good and reliable. I use Amazon Music through this and very happy with it. The streaming music is much better quality than Sirius XM.
