While dealing with my grueling, all-of-six-miles commute, rather than dwell on the fact that on really bad days I could get home faster by running, I turn to the stereo for comfort. Such are the realities of driving a performance car in L.A.
In addition to its strong sound, the Eclipse's system has remote controls that are mounted behind the steering wheel spokes. Borrowed from Chrysler (you'll find the same controls in various Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models) I can say without hesitation that this is the best setup around -- just by sense of touch, it's possible to surf station presets / CD tracks, seek stations, adjust volume and even change modes. Perfect for someone like me who is always looking for the right song. "Welcome to the Jungle" seems appropriate most times...
