About the same 0-60 as BMW 320i.
I looked at those as well, did you have to activate onstar to get all of the features to work?

which features? The ones that go thru OnStar, yes, you have to activate OnStar.

Jacob, It’s my full time job to beat you to it!
thank for the smile Rickb. Loved your last line; "Jacob, It's my full time job to beat you to it!" you 2 need to bet a lunch on who gets the most & factual info to the forum first.

Remote climate and charge control was my main interest. I like the battery in the Spark better than the Leaf but the extra cost of Onstar stinks.
obviously I am still waiting on a FUV but just in case I like to have a backup plan.

I use the buttons on key fob. Obviously, using the OnStar smartphone app (app also rebranded as "mychevrolet") to do things doesn't work if you don't subscribe to the service.
Again, I just use the fob - works like a charm.
