Summary:
Saw the faceplace, and fell in love with the vivid color. (it matched the color of my car perfectly) It sounds AWESOME, and read CD that were WAY scratched. untill.... a year or so of use. (in VW the radio compartmewnt isnt sealed really well.. so dust and dirt can get in there.. then it started skipping on brand new CDS. So bad, it got really frustrating. I Looked all over for a place to get a new one, because Panasonic wouldnt fix it for me at a fair price. I found one for 135.00 and ordered it. then took apart my old one, relubricated the Rod that runs the laser bhack and forth, and it works great again! Definately keeping it.

Strengths:
Incredible sound. Clarity is very impressive. Good Power to speakers. Beautiful faceplate.

Weaknesses:
No Subwoofer level control. VERY bad Panasonic customer support.
