The standard sound system is "ok" but has no EQ options which lets it down. THe high performance and premium stereos are much better and have EQ options. You can tell what you have by pressing the power button (top left knob) on the center stack, when you press it you will either get:

- Picture of your car on the screen with no words (this is the basic stereo)
- Picture of your car with "high performance sound".
- Picture of your car with "Premium sound" or dynaudio etc

If your car has a center speaker on the dashboard then it has the top stereo, labelled "dynaudio".

Speakers are rivetted to the door frame so can just drill them out to change.

Worth noting that you basically cannot change the headunit in these cars because it is fully integrated into the climate control system etc. So you need to make sure that whatever car you buy has the required Auxilary inputs etc that you need. 2012 onwards cars allow bluetooth music streaming, anything older than that is phonecalls only.

Older cars will have USB, ipod and aux inputs inside the armrest if specced.

Don't buy a car that has only a CD player and no aux inputs, or you will kick yourself.
