I agree that there is not much on the radio that I want to listen to
anymore, but I want my stereo/CD player/possibly MP3 player. No thanks
on the cassette player.

My exhaust is also pleasing to hear, somewhat quieted by the turbo but
still plenty loud at 3 inches all the way back including the cat.
Sometimes I turn the stereo on, sometimes I leave it off, the option is
nice. I drove a car alone with a broken stereo on a 400 mile trip and
found it to be a less pleasant drive than if it had worked. To each
their own, I was just pointing out that most people want a stereo so
that they can listen to more than just their exhaust note, no matter
what it sounds like.
I am sure that a poll would agree with this, otherwise we would see
posts about people taking out their radios, complaining about the
automatic feature that they are in a miata, etc., instead of asking how
to fix and replace them.
