I also like having the map displayed on screen (Nav system has a decent size
screen) along with ATM locations, restaurants, etc.

I also don't have to pull over to unfold, read and refold it.

If you got any pals with an active subscription, you could sweet talk them
into letting you add your radio with their family plan. Any radio past the
initial 12.95 subscription price is 6.95 per month (max. 4 plus primary
radio). I was an early adopter of XM and would really hate to be without!
I wouldn't buy a new car without it as an integrated option.
