I had a subscription to Sirius in my old car before I got the GTI and have now extended the free 3 months that came with the car. I love Sirius and barely ever listen to cds any more. Tons of variety and none of the mess / clutter of keeping a million cds in your car. True, it does "blip out" on you every now & then when the anttena is blocked, but IME this happens very infrequently and only for 2-3 seconds.
