Problem is, in my previous car (Kia Rio5), I had XM and there was no discernible difference in quality or volume level between FM and XM.
The difference in the Cruze is listening to FM at a comfortable level and switching to XM and having it scare the crap out of me and blasting my ear drums..

Do you have the same issue with a high quality audio file through usb/aux/phone(usb not Bluetooth)?

Sounds like the Kia had a **** stereo system. I never had a problem listen to music through Bluetooth or the radio on my Hyundai. Now I can't stand it on the Cruze because it sounds so much clearer through USB that I never got with the Hyundai. They're also two completely different cars running completely different systems. Can't really compare them when it comes to little quirks. They're going to have different ones.
