got a Sirius car
Got my first car equipped with Sirius in NY last week. It was very nice since I had to drive to Boston, but it fades out when you are driving thru the trees of Westchester county.
I listened to the comedy station all the way across CT and it was wonderful.
Too bad it was a Camry which has a crappy stereo system.

I received a Sirius-equipped Taurus in St. Louis a couple weeks ago. I was going to try to get a different model until I saw the Sirius set up. So, I thought I'd give it a try. It wasn't bad, but it does fade out when you go under a long bridge, which can be annoying. Also, it didn't seem to have true stereo sound--the FM stations in the area came in normally, so I don't think it was a problem with the car's radio.
I agree with above posts that it's nice, but I don't think I'd pay $10/month for it.

Sirius = satellite radio. Worth it if you do a lot of driving in areas without much tree cover. But for my short commute the CD player still wins...

Are you telling me that Hertz rented out a V-8 Stang? Wow... I find that hard to believe. Why would they spend the extra pesos to get that?
Reminds me: my Budget rent-a-car card has a picture with a Saleen Mustang on it.... like Budget would actually rent one out!!

I usually make my reservations online. I'd be wonderful if they'd add a checked for "Sirius requested" or such, but I just looked right now and I don't see any such thing on the website.
So do you have to CALL (what's that ?) to make a reservation if you want Sirius??

to make reservations, request Sirius and in most cases get it confirmed as well
