Rating  - Misleading product photo
I recently bought this to install in my car. The installation was pretty straightforward. I ultimately returned this product because the display was more primitive than indicated by the product photo.
The product photo for the Stratus 4 currently shows a three-lines of proportionally spaced font, which indicates a "pixel-by-pixel" display. However, the actual Stratus 4 has a cheaper looking "character-by-character" display where all text is monospaced. For reference, check out the following photo of an older model with the same display:

My advice is to go to one of the big stores and see the Stratus 4 for yourself before purchasing. (And Sirius should stop providing misleading product photos to merchants.)
Rating  - Good way to get into satellite radio
I've used sirius as a subscription internet radio provider for about two years; it's a good way to keep up with Jimmy Buffett concerts in the summer (Ch. 31)!
Adding on the satellite radio was easy, but I wish I could do a month-to-month subscription rather than pay for an entire year at a time.
The radio itself is fine--the installation was pretty easy. I run it through my cars' tape decks, and the sound is just fine. The presets make browsing much easier, and I like the "jump" function to local traffic.
Expect to spend about a hundred bucks on add-ons. You'll need/want a home setup, and I added an extra antenna for our other car. I'm really enjoying the amount of music choices so far.
Rating - Easy to setup, easy to use
Display is easy to read. Setup was very easy. Sound quality is good (not as good as my iPod). Wish it had a "scan" option to autoplay a few seconds from each channel. Well worth the $40 I paid for it on Amazon. Overall I am very happy.
After contacting customer service I learned that the Sirius Customer Service Database has all account passwords available in plain text for CS reps to read and have access to. It is unacceptable that a modern technology company would not safeguard customer passwords from the eyes of employees, making my password vulnerable to theft by an unhappy employee, contractor, hacker or anyone else who could gain access to Sirius CS database records. Too many companies have been forced to disclose the theft of customer data due to human error and Sirius is leaving the door wide open to a future security breach. My warning: If you use Sirius, use a unique username and password during account step to safeguard your identity and confidential account info.
