    Can't tell if serious or not.

    UE boom fits in a cup holder and has good battery life. I think it would hold up better to the abuse of constantly being thrown in a bag.

    Serious. My car's stereo works just fine, but I only have access to a 6-cd changer in my car. Was mainly curious to if the Riva S would sound better.

    I thought of that too and even considered volunteering to ride with you and throw a cantaloupe at your head in case of a wreck but then I saw the dimensions and it seems pretty small.

    I've got a friend who velcroes his phone to the middle of his steering wheel. Right over the airbaog.

    I'm surprised no car company has done that yet. A Bose soundlink that docks into the dash of a toyota yaris would be cheaper and sound better than the stock stereo.

    @Pilsnerpunk I've had a RIVA Turbo X that comes with me just about everywhere for the past year. Stands up to plenty of abuse and is still going strong. Battery life at max normal volume is easily over 24 hours.

    Decapitator if it is on the back shelf. Windscreen breaker if on the front.
    (I wonder how many people are killed by high-speed tissue boxes?)

    Its pretty easy to upgrade your stock head unit to something more versatile.

    Head units are easy. Speakers can be a pain in the ass though and you're exceeding the cost of the Riva plus velcro.

    My headunit made all the difference. In my 2006 Toyota Rav4, the sound was terrible. Replaced head unit with a $100 pioneer one, sounds much better, and I get Bluetooth.
