My playlists tend to be quite rocky and punchy. It has a really good sound system and a factory subwoofer in the boot which really kicks out nice base. But my everyday car is a 2000 Volvo V40 T4 auto, one of just 10 in the UK. I prefer the sound of the Weber carb behind my head. And I removed the stereo from my 1990 Bertone x19 as I never used it either. My 1982 Vauxhall Viceroy only has an AM radio with no tape deck so it doesn’t get used at all. It’s the sound of the engine that I enjoy. I’m a classic car guy which means I don’t always listen to music when I’m out for a drive. Podcasts are a great way to pass time on a long drive. On long drives to go skiing, in the mountains & desert there is often no reception so I switch to downloaded podcasts which I enjoy very much.

If it’s around 5pm, most of the radio stations are commercial free and play good rock-n-roll.

If its during morning drive time I typically listen to Sports Talk radio. If I'm on my own and travelling for more than 20 minutes I will often listen to a podcast - usually something work related like #HashtagAuthentic as it feels like a constructive use of the journey - especially as I rarely get chance to concentrate on listening to things otherwise. What I listen to in the car depends very much on the time of day, how far I'm travelling and if I've got company! If I'm with the kids then we take it in turns to pick songs on Spotify and this can range from Little Mix to Adele or Ed Sheeran to some random dance song from our holiday last year or the Greatest Showman soundtrack when the kids are choosing - I'm usually happy if it's something we can all sing along to and the three of them are starting to develop quite varied music tastes as a result! If we're only travelling a short distance we'll stick Radio X on (we all love a bit of Chris Moyles in the mornings). For longer journeys I love to listen to classic 80s or 90s pop music and for shorter trips I put The Greatest Showman soundtrack on or listen to our local radio station.

I always listen to music and I usually download playlists to my phone to suit the journey that we're going on and I connect my phone to the car stereo to listen through the car's sound system.

I spend a lot of time in the car and our music choice is always s priority when we're on a little road trip.
