What's great about it: READS THE RADIO STATION INFO AND DEPENDING ON THE STATION BROADCAST, TELLS ME THE SONG AND ARTIST ON SCREEN
What's not so great: THE BUTTONS COULD BE A BIT BIGGER, AND EASIER TO SEE.
THIS IS A GREAT STEREO FOR A LOW PRICE! IT BROADCASTS THE STATION INFO AND EVEN READS MY CDS!!! AWESOME! I LOVE THIS STEREO, AND IT WAS CHEAPER AT BEST BUY THAN ANY OTHER STORES INCLUDING WALMART.

What's great about it: plays mp3 and wma data CDs as well as tape and MP3 players with auxiliary input
What's not so great: installation
This is a good radio and CD player but when they say it will fit your car they mean it will fit the slot in your dash. They don't say anything about the brackets or the connector. When you open the instructions they mention Toyota and NIssan but no other make. Neither the brackets nor the connector on my KIA fit this radio. If you are good at mechanical and electrical work you can put this radio in yourself, but be sure you know what the pinouts are on your connector, because you can't always rely on the color of the wires. Also, expect to spend the better part of a day and use a lot of Yankee ingenuity. I was a little disappointed in the sound quality, but that is probably due to the poor quality of my speakers. They say the frequency response goes up to 20kHz, so it should sound great. The great thing for me about this unit is that it plays all my old data mp3 and wma CDs, as well as my tape cassettes and SD cards through the auxiliary input. In summary I would say this is good value if you put it in yourself, but not if you have to pay someone another $70 to put it in.

What's great about it: Price!
What's not so great: So far everything is great
I bought this Sony Stereo because of the price. I've always loved Sony products and this is definitely something that is worth the price. The sound is awesome even before using an amplifier. So far everything is working great, no problems at all. The only thing that I wish it had are dual RCA outs to connect to a 4 way amp. Other than that, I highly recommend this stereo.

I am happy with the purchase but I need to up date the speakers to really get the full sound quality that I expect from Sony. The detachable face doesnt really fit m;y '95 Saturn but thats no problem to complain about.

What's great about it: sound is wonderful
What's not so great: nothing
For the price this receiver sounds wonderful. I'm running 4 pioneer 4" speakers off it. They match up perfect together. If you want decent sound, add after market speakers you would appreciate the detailed sound that you don't get with factory speakers.

With all the radios my big brother has went through and payed $200 for each this sony has all their features and its only $60-80. My antenna on my car isn't the best, but I don't listen to radio anyway but the AUX cord to my phone or CDs come in very clear. I hope this helps persuade you guys into a good choice.

What's great about it: Sound, features, comes with a remote. Plenty of presets
What's not so great: It took a little time to get acquanted with the controls
I was looking for a good radio for my wifes 99 Jeep Wrangler. As this vehicle has the accoustic characteristics (and aerodynamics) of a brick, I didnt want to spend a lot on capabilities that couldnt be utilized. She has a soundbar that was a factory option and this radio takes full advantage of it, the only upgrade was the front speakers to get the clarity we wanted, as the factory ones had seen better days. A great radio at a fantastic price

You look at the dreamy display at Best Buy's Car Audio section. You see an array of different styles, colors, sizes, features and most importantly prices. Being a junior in High School, a budget is not something I have much of. My friends and I purchased this stereo for our summer party van and were not looking to spend too much. We decided to buy this deck after contemplating over the cheapest models, and we were incredibly happy with the purchase. Subsequently having it installed by Best Buy's Installation Service, the drives are now sound tracked by our iPods nearly all the time. Very, very satisfied with this purchased.

What's great about it: appearance, sound and easy set up with cool features
What's not so great: how best buy wanted me to pay another 70$ for them to install it.
i just picked this up today, and i installed it myself since i did not wanna pay another 70$ to have it installed by best buy, and even tho it took me an hour myself with no previous car knowlage or anything it went very smoothly. the sound is really good and has alot of features. it is great for the price and the one thing i like is how when i put in a cd it tells you what song is playing on the display x] haha,

What's great about it: Aux input, easy controls, looks, price
What's not so great: Power button?
I've needed a new car radio for a long time, 97 Honda Civic with the factory radio and the all to common volume knob problem. My wife had this installed and paired up with Pioneer 6-1/2" 2-Way Car Speakers with Composite IMPP Woofer Cones (Pair) in the doors.
Wow, I can actually control the volume on the radio now!
This radio met my requirements, reasonable price, volume knob that works and an aux input for my Xm Radio. I can hear decent clear sound over old car road and exhaust noise, it looks great and it definately does what I wanted.

What's great about it: IPOD port
What's not so great: Installers should take it out of display mode-I am going to have to read the book to do it
This is a good system for the price with lots of features. The staff at Best Buy were great assisting us before the purchase and the installation process took less than an hour. My only suggestion would be that the install staff take the system out of what appears to be an install mode. We are going to have to read through the manual to set the time and day to day display. We are very happy with the purchase overall.

What's great about it: Has several preset equalizer settings PLUS you can customize one.
What's not so great: Dials are a little smaller than some but still workable.
We were looking for a good quality stereo to replace the existing broken one in my Mazda. This stereo had a great price, some good features and we've always liked Sony products. We did have one glitch when the first one had a clock that changed time on its own but Best Buy gave us a replacement and it has worked perfect ever since. Great sound and a great buy!
