I care about stereo sound quality - at least in my commute. Got a decent rig by upgrading from the LX to the EX Civic. Nothing mind blowing but like all other things automotive a Huge improvement for a factory rig.
Personally, as a stereo guy, I have low expectations for car audio. Can't think of a worse environment for decent sound quality - curved glass reflecting and distorting sound while carpets and cushions absorb it. Best you can hope
for is decent speaker placement and direct line speaker to ear - at least for highs and mids.
That being said even the Honda is acceptable. Would go as far as saying the burmeister in my dad's S class is good to very good. Might even rate excellent with better cones. But that was an option that cost as much as my whole
Honda (which is totally wasted on my 83year old, mostly deaf, father.)
Sort of on the subject is Car Tech in general. I was amazed at how fast things like keyless entry and start and Bluetooth integration made it to even entry level cars. Got all the dodads in the civic for about $22k. And would not
want to live without them. Heck, I get cranky when I have to press a button on the key fob to unlock my wife's 6 year old ml350. And you have to actually stick the key in the ignition- barbarian like.
But still, if it were in the budget, I'd trade all the conveniences to daily drive an Elise with weak to poor a/c in the Florida summer.
But I am that kind of crazy.
