Do I want a digital radio in the car?

Yes, so long as you can receive the signals. The BBC's digital radio transmitters currently cover 65% of the UK population - a figure set to rise to 85% within a year. For those who can pick-up digital radio transmissions, you will find the sound quality astonishing.

Can you recommend any models?

Though not cheap, the Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB 52 car radio is a remarkable piece of kit. Digital reception is crystal clear - so much so that you can almost hear each member of an orchestra fidgeting. The DAB 52 also includes a CD player and is MP3 compatible, so it will play those tracks you've illicitly downloaded from the internet. To avoid the attention of car thieves, the front panel is removable.

How much?

The Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB 52 car radio costs £399.99 including free fitting, from Halfords. For information on BBC digital radio coverage, visit bbc.co.uk/reception/digital_radio/.
