First of all, the size of this radio is perfect for me. I use it at the gym and while running. It transitions to my car perfectly. I drive a small sports car, so room on the dash board is at a premium. With the car kit, I can attach it to an air vent, leaving the rest of my dash board available. The functionality is a little more difficult than I am used to, but that's because I haven't had a different Sirius radio in over three years. After reading the manual and messing with the buttons on my own, I'm getting the hang of it. I really love how when you change channels, a voice tells you which channel it is on. That is perfect for when I'm driving and can't keep my eyes on the radio. The display is so slick, I love the colors and logos. The option to change the display colors, etc. is a really nice addition. I haven't used the radio indoors yet and I probably won't connect it via WiFi because I mainly bought the radio for use in my car. If that's what you're going to use it for, this is perfect! I highly suggest buying the car kit to go along with it. I even installed it myself with very little difficulty. I had read that the FM transmitter wasn't very strong, but I haven't had a problem with that yet. You can easily choose a different FM station to transmit to through the options menu. Again, the car kit comes with extra FM antenna, so even if there was a problem with the transmitter, it's taken care of. Lastly, this little radio is so cute! I know that's not a big deal to a lot of people, but I just love looking at the thing. The functionality is the best part, of course, but the looks are just the icing on the cake. It's a little bulkier with the battery, but it still fits neatly into my purse without adding a lot of weight.Read full review
I purchased the Sirius Stiletto because I do a great deal of traveling across the wide open areas if Wyoming and there is often limited to no radio available. I just got back from my first trip with Sirius and have to say I was shocked. I had radio coverage in areas I did not imagine possible. The choice is great. I would recommend if you have children around some channels be blocked, but really is an amazing service. I also strongly recommend having the unit hard wired rather than using the built in FM transmitter. Not overly pleased by the battery length, and I have both a standard battery and long life, but that only becomes an issue when not plugged into power in my car. All in all, I have to say I am more than pleased with this purchase.
A few things that ive encountered since I have bought a replacement Stiletto 100. The original one thumb wheel on the front which controls access to everything broke. It is made of very cheap plastic/rubber. The new replacement Stilleto after only 4 months of use is exhibiting same issues with the plastic/rubber thumb wheel on its face making that grinding feel which the original one also started doing before completely breaking. Terrible design quality. Battery gets really warm and I replaced the battery in my original one 2 times in 2 years. This radio can save content but if you let your subscription lapse for a day all and the radio gets deactivated, or the radio needs to be reset, all of your saved Sirius content cannot be accessed anymore until you reactivate the radio, and then it still may not be accessible and might be erased with the new activation/reset ping from Sirius to your radio to turn it on. Good idea with the Stiletto, but poor quality (it's ALL plastic) and easy to ding or crack.Read full review

After trying several different styles of XM and Sirius Radios, this is our unit of choice. The colored screen is very brightly backlit and easy to view thru visors or glasses and this is important to us as ours is mounted on a Goldwing Gl1800. All functions can be done easily and only require one touch to activate controls ranging from channel selection to my favorite function on this radio, the instant record. Once a song plays and you decide you would like a copy for future enjoyment, you simply press the record button and it will save the entire song even if you have been listening for several minutes. This button can also be used as a Favorites button when you are listening to pre-recorded stations which is another favorite function. With the SL100, it automatically records the top 3 stations you listen to. Up to a full day's worth of music for each one and when you are in an area with o reception or you choose to have more control over what you are listening to, you simply play back your choice of stations. You can fast forward, pause, rewind and of course, save specific songs that are added to you favorites play list. This radio also allows you to add your own mp3 files, create play lists for whatever mood you are in and you will never run out of music to listen to even if you were to stay indoors with no signal for a week. For me personally, the shape, size and ease of use, make this the best choice in a satellite radio and especially if you are using on a motorcycle like I do. I do wish there were 3rd party accessories such as water proof covers and the like but, it works well for us and this makes my second one.Read full review
This is my second Sirius Stilleto. My first one is the reason for buying the second radio. This radio installed with the car kit works flaulessly, no static while traveling, both of my cars are equiped with auxilary iputs, so no need for an FM modulator. When out walking or riding my bike I use the antenna headphones and the radio works just as good. The battery life could be a little longer, but that is not enough for me to give this radio a bad review. Would definately recommend to friends and family without hesitation.
