I listen to sirius xm, which has poor sound quality. My oem stereo is not good and neither is the road noise. The setbacks of upgrading the stereo like removing panels is not worth it to me. The other problem is integrating a better stereo with the stock "infotainment" systems. In the heyday of car audio there were only like three options for a really good head unit. I would be surprised if that kind of sound is available today, but I do not know for sure.
What do audiophiles do in their cars?
All of you forum members with your killer home systems…what do you listen to in your cars? Do y’all have custom stereo systems? Does the quality of the stereo system actually impact your car buying decision? I have a B&O setup in my 2021 truck, which was an upgrade and sounds decent enough, but nothing compared to a typical HiFi home system.

Who cares? Yes the stock stereo sound and features have some bearing on the purchase. Both of my cars sound good enough with the top line trim. I had a ’95 Ford that benefitted immensely from changing out the door speakers. Those days are long gone. In a moving vehicle you will get far more SQ improvement from sound deadener https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KZ5X7KO/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_K326469TH13N489HTVA3?_encoding=UTF8&a... instead of better playback equip.
