I know many on this forum don't use their Boxsters as daily driver's but if you do, and you sit in traffic like I do, then the radio is a must. Sat radio is even better.

I listen to the engine when doing spirited driving, when the engine seems to be misbehaving or does not feel right, or when I just want to relax and enjoy the relative silence.

But most of the time I will listen to XM, FM, CD,'s, or some of the 150 gb of music I keep on my ipod, and listen to it LOUD, thats why I am dragging around 600 watts of extra amplifiers. To be fair, I generally only play it loud when I am not around other folks that could be annoyed by the racket. I know its only rock and roll, but I like it...

Ed, was that you cruising outside my window at 6am?

As my daily driver I listen to the radio so much that turning it on is part of the routine: get in, start car, reverse out of space (optional), turn on radio. Unless I'm in a parking garage in which case it's: get in, start car, leave garage, turn on radio. Because of this I will sometimes actually turn off the radio and listen to the sweet purr of the flat six behind me. I don't always thing about it but what a treat when I do. I installed a Wevo motor mount this summer and now actually have to turn up the radio louder to hear it over the increased cabin noise. So now I guess you can say I listen to the engine and the radio at the same time! (Wevo mount fails the girlfriend test)

Can't we all agree that to each his own . I personally find no satifaction listening to the engine/road noise. Even with my Boxster de-snorked, I only enjoy it oh, like 1% of the time. I would much rather jam some tunes with my new infinity kappas and JVC head unit. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences. Some people like to sit on their front porch drinking beer, watching cars go by; While others would rather sit on their back porch looking at the stars and drinking wine.
