Personally I'm extremely happy with the audio system. I play music via my phone and have found that the sound is much much better if you have a music app on your phone that will allow you extreme customization of the sound quality. I can make it sound like an after-market audio system with an amp and subs.

With all the issues and dissatisfaction with the more expensive premium models in just about every brand of car I've ever owned, I finally decided to take it upon myself to just get a base model and upgrade the things I want. Actually turns out to be cheaper and higher quality too. Buying a base model GT, then installing your own aftermarket head unit and a full JL audio system with a sub-woofer, may cost a couple grand, but the quality is light years beyond anything from the manufacturer, and it will last the life of the car without fail.
For example, I bought a Subaru Legacy for my wife. The first thing I did was buy a full set of Katzkin genuine leather upholstery and upgrade that myself for a measly $360. Also a leather steering wheel for $50. Lots of labor, but worth it. Then, I installed my own custom stereo with Alpine speakers. That proved to be about $600 total, and far better than the premium stereo they offered. Then, I went and spent another $600 for a set of custom rims that are much nicer than the ones they offer. I basically built myself a brand new Subaru Legacy Limited, sans the eyesight system for around $23,000, and saved a good $5g's.
