you don't really say what feature you deemed "needed." And as far as opening doors, I don't think Saabs offer that feature, nor online diagnostics, because OnStar isn't fully integrated into the car. It's added at the port.
Only two parts of OnStar make sense to me: notification if the bags go off and the possibility of tracking a stolen car. And if you scrounge up a USA Today article about telematics from a coupla months ago, you'll discover that the renewal rate after the initial "free" bundled year is down below 40 percent (IIRC).
