Premium Stereo Is It Worth It?
I'm looking at a few different cars and some have premium stereo some don't, so to the owners out there is that a deal breaker if it doesn't have it?

Which cars and what years are you looking at? In my 09 Vantage, the premium sound system is very good while I haven't heard anyone say any great things about the standard system.
Now, some cars can have the $5000 B&O option, but I don't know if its worth that much more than the premium system.

Do a search on this topic. There are plenty of responses in other threads.
In the meantime, yes, the premium audio is amazing. Personally I would not purchase a V8V without it. It sounds amazing and better than a few very high end units I have installed in other cars.

I also have the premium and am very impressed with the sound.
The problem with upgrading later is that it can be a very big expense. When I inquired about upgrading my turbo's stereo, it was quite a process- amp, stereo, speakers, wiring, etc.

Have premium and never listen to it. Once I upgraded the exhaust, I drive with the windows down everywhere!
I save music for my other cars. I am addicted still to the sound of this car.....

I admit I do the same thing, in my 996tt with Europipe Stage 2 catless exhaust. I don't even bother with the stereo, just windows down to hear the growl and turbo spool. I must say my G35 coupe also has a great stock exhaust note, especially considering how cheap it is in comparison. I just can't wait to add in a Aston soundtrack to my garage...
