new SE owner here
Just picked up our new '02 SE...merlot with black cloth, sunroof and Bose 6 disc in-dash. It's a wonderful car, and since we usually keep our cars for 8+ years I am planning on it being a wonderful car for some time to come.
What I like:
(1) power
(2) Xenons
(3) handling
What I dislike:
(1) torque steer
(2) FM radio (see my question below)
(3) the fact that I now have car payments
My first question on this board is a simple one - the Bose stereo CD sounds fine, but the FM is quite muffled (even with the treble cranked up to +5). Is that normal, or do I just need to clean the wax out of my ears?
Thanks!

the bose system is really a clarion as i recently found out. bose only "tunes" it...whatever that means. thus, not the greatest. how does the cd sound? if it's still muffled...prob something's wrong.

Of course there's a difference in quality between CDs and the radio, but the Max's seems too much of a difference. Oh well, I don't listen to the radio much anyways.
Kinda off-topic: Does anyone have XM or any other satellite radio? If so, how's the quality of it? CD quality?

CD sounds great, so I don't think it has anything to do with the speakers. I guess I just expected a bit more out of the FM.

As far as XM/Sirius goes, i do notice a slightly better SQ from Sirius than i do with XM but a lot of people would say the opposite. So in the end it's all up to your ears and channel line-up preference.
