You will have to remember that the S is rear wheel drive not as forgiving as the awd subaru.

 

Not bought for that reason but it is a plus. One of the driving decisions was the roof rack for the kayak.

 

I was thinking more about the sitting down into the S and the getting up out of it. The Subaru is very easy to get in and out of. My age is showing!

 

I have it in both of my vehicles right now, and I have had it in all of my vehicles for years. It is more expensive in Canada, like all other things. If Howard Stern doesn't renew his next contract then I may eventually cancel it, as I mainly listen to Stern. I do have to take the all access service level to get Stern which is more expensive.

 

As an alternative, if your car has Bluetooth, you can always listen to Pandora. There are a number of music stations I listen to on Pandora even with the lifetime subscription I have to SiriusXM.

 

Do not think I have ever turned on a local station in the S or the Fiat in years. SiriusXM all the time in the cars, GPS for traffic and Sirius for no commercials

 

When it comes to music we like the best - doo wop and R&R from 50s & 60s Pandora is way better than Sirius. I was extremely disappointed when the wife got Sirius and heard the crap they play on the so-called 50 & 60's stations. Instead of the top 100 songs, they play the bottom 100 songs or remakes of the top 100 by not-original artists. Its clear they do not want to pay the royalties to original top artists.

 

And who owns PANDORA SiriusXM

 

If that's not a joke, they should get their act together.

 

I believe they want to buy iheart radio next, which is currently a money losing entity. I can't see that working out, other than getting rid of some competition.
