One more thing......


Whatever 3-5 year old vehicle you buy, skip the NAV/Bluetooth criteria.... a cheap Garmin or TomTom (et al) has better navigation and Bluetooth functionality.

GM's OnStar provides a more powerful digital send/receive than any cell phone if you're driving in spotty mountain coverage. If you're with Verizon you just add it as another line to your plan ($9/mo) and it has its own number, and/or you can forward your cell to it when you take long trips. Completely hands-free, voice activated, and OnStar operator assisted when you'd like. Fantastic alternative to Bluetooth, and much better when signal is weak.

Other manufacturers offer similar telemetry (most are just re-branded OnStar) that may offer similar features. Worth a look.
