I actually refuse to buy a car that has satrad. Just another useless “feature” that I am sick of paying for.
BTW – have had siri on rental cars and the in/out of that system blows. Am sure XM is not better.

So RicardoHead, you’re never buying another car again?!?!? Because just about every car out there has sat radio as an option….and it is an option….you don’t have to subscribe. Tool.

I know its a pay service, but if it comes “standard” (meaning the radio has about 100 bucks of **** that I dont need but am expected to pay for) then that’s a strike against the car for me. Can’t remember which car I was looking at the other day, but it now is offered with a “satrad delete” option for people like me who don’t like to fork out the cash for bull**** junk that we don’t use. And yeah, I’d skip buying a car if I am forced to pay for **** I don’t want. Bonz, if you pay for **** you don’t want, then you are the tool.
