I own a 2005 Buick LeSabre. It was bought brand new with rebates, tade in and an employee discount. Yes it was one heck of a deal after all the deductions. Now this car comes equipped with OnStar services which is a satellite service that has many great uses. I've used most services in my 2+ years of owning this car. OnStar is the in-vehicle safety and security system created to help protect you and your family on the road. OnStar's innovative three-button system* offers:
24-hour access to expertly trained, caring Advisors, A connection to emergency assistance, and Access to OnStar Hands-Free and other options in higher end plans. I love the service and use it daily as I drive checking the weather in the location I'm at wether it be in The USA Canada or even Mexico. It's GPS so it gives the weather from the area that you're driving in at the time. Does anyone else have this service? If so how often do you use it? Have you even heard of it? Do you have the driving direction options added?

i have heard of Onstar but we do not have it. I think it is a great service. I think all car companies should include it free with their new vehicle purchases.Atleast for the life of the warranty on the car. If a compant did this I would be more apt to purchase from them.

Yes, I have heard of it, my old boss used to have it in her car and she would be sitting in her driveway and call for directions to places she was going cause she would always get lost, like me. None of our cars have them, would be nice, since I get lost going down the street.

We don't own a car but we have heard of onstar.
I thought it was very expensive.
I listen to co-workers while they talk about it and the consenses seems to be that for the little it is used it isn't worth it.
I don't know enough about it to give a personal veiw, I am conveying what was said in the lunchroom. Susan

iT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE ALSO. aLSO IN THE MONTHLY COST IT INCLUDES 5 GALLONS GAS FREE IF YOU RUN OUT AT anytime. Not just once either. I think once a month is a limit. It laso has free towing to the nearest authorized GM dealer in the even of a breakdown. So in my eyes my $13 is being spent well.

A couple of years ago, we rented a car while in California. It had the 'Onstar' system and it was great. My husband called for directions all the time and we found the employees to be friendly and courteous. I liked it but it's not something that I would use on a regular basis. My husband brings his wireless laptop on trips so we can usually find a wireless connection when we need it.
