OK, I'm up for renewal on my XM subscription, and I've got free Sirius in my VW Jetta for a few more days. Since sampling the Sirius for the last couple of months, I do like their music selection (classic rock and country stations primarily) better than XM. Both carry the same newstalk stations I listen to as well. I do like XM's traffic coverage better than Sirius' for the Phoenix area, however, although IMO neither does a better job of traffic coverage than the local AM/FM stations. Sirius has NASCAR, but since I'm no longer making 7-hour road trips, that's not necessarily a high priority for me. My XM is portable between my truck and Z, but the Jetta is integral to the OE radio and I would rather be portable (which I know I can get with Sirius as well).
So, who has which one and likes/dislikes? Is it a tomay-to/tomah-to issue? Less filling? Tastes great? |

I had XM, got tired of truck driving commercials... ditched it. The Sirius in friend's Mercedes was much nicer IMHO, though I only spent a few hours in that trying to stay warm from the cold rain in Devens.
