Bose speakers sound good. Don't know what to tell you other than if I'm ever in your car and you don't have good sound coming out of your speakers I will mock you on a Phillies message board.

no highs, no lows, just bose.

Bose are average speakers with guerilla marketing.

my first point of reference is their noise canceling headphones, which, while expensive, are amazing. Really remarkable listening experience. the next is those portable blue tooth boom boxes. we were in the park last week and my friend had one which played clean sounding music loud enough to turn heads 30 yards away.

I've got a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. Leased it in July. The 05 Sonata crapped out on me.

I have about 15 months left of payments on my current car and already kind of want a new one. Gonna try to go at least a year without payments, though.

Doh, sorry. I remember it was a couple days before I bought mine but couldn't remember if it was used or new

Really loving my ride. Windows down, sunroof open, flipping the Sirius between 44 (uncensored hip-hop) and 66 (smooth jazz) to mess with people pulling up next to me

My 2000 Focus just passed 176000, but I'm thinking this might be the end of the line. Have had a bunch of mechanical issues in 2014 and the IAC valve appears to be crapping out (could be vacuum hoses or a dirty throttle). Kinda weird to drive a car that actually maintains speed without my foot on the gas. Might replace the valve (or other repair) to try to get to 200k, but that seems like a questionable decision.

I'm looking at smaller hatchbacks as possible replacements (e.g. Versa, Fit, Spark).
