Excellent car for the price, it's a budget Audi.
And in case your dealer didn't explain, OnStar now incorporates its own cell phone option. You can go to their website and see the pricing options. The nice thing is that it's already there, integrated and ready to go. The bad things are, 1. it's analog and you get a new phone number, and 2. it's all voice-activated. So when you want to dial, you say the phone number one digit at a time, the lady repeats it, then you tell her to dial. You can also store numbers by name, so that should speed things up a bit.
Since it's not a handheld system, it's supposed to work at the higher 3W power. I find that service is spotty here in LA, and the FCC just announced that analog cellular can now be phased out by carriers.
