the apple store people are good about explaining it all and turning the apps on. Apps, which require an apple itunes ID. It does get confusing until you get it all set up. and piece of advice, write down all the IDs/PWs and what they are used for!

@nyccarguy you sound like my MIL.
Sport pack, lighting, no iDrive, and obviously the right number of pedals. Miles are okay too.

similar car on the east coast. Just 1/2 the miles, 5 years new, 2x the price and a bunch more HP. Like the interior color too.

After our LA road trip last weekend, I took the Volt back to the dealership to learn some new aspects of its technology. These new cars now have so much it takes awhile to figure out which features you actually want to use. Of course most of them turn out to be ridiculously easy once someone shows you. For example, there's an arrow on the steering wheel that lets you change the dash display to show audio, Nav, or trip information, among others. And the adaptive cruise is a cinch. But some are a little tricky. We wanted to set the Volt on Hold mode until we got to LA, which conserves the electric charge until you're doing city driving. The instructions said to scroll to the mode you want and hold for 3 seconds. Nope. It turns out that you should scroll to the desired mode and LET GO. Okay. Now I know.
Also learned that mychevy.com app is basically a fancier version of Onstar. So you have to have Onstar to take advantage of its useful features, like learning when it's fully charged remotely. According to the dealer, you can choose a la carte Onstar features so I'm going to check out the cost.
I also really like the wifi in the car. Not sure if I'm going to keep that or not. Cuts down on using your data plan. On the other hand, Nav is independent of both Onstar and wifi so maybe I don't really NEED it, although I like it.

I like the smoothness of the lines, yet the grille area is somewhat sharpened from earlier examples without being "beaky." It has a classic elegance that many modern cars lack.

Maybe in 2-3 years when the lease returns begin I can keep my streak going on 5 ownership, having owned an example of each of the last three generations!

Some might say it looks dated already, unfortunate for a newly-introduced design.

I am posting this in every group I'm in because I think it's important. If you don't use punctuation in these groups, most people are not going to listen to what you post. Yes, listen, because most of us use screen readers, we cannot look at your post with our eyes. We have to actually listen to gigantic sentences that run on and on and on. It is headache inducing. This post is not meant to be mean to anyone, think of it as a public service announcement. When you dictate into your iPhone, you have to say things like period when you're finished with the sentence. That's right, you have to dictate your sentence and then say, period. This really makes your posts easier to listen too. For those of you who may get defensive, I don't think I'm better than anyone.
My oldest just got her learner's permit. Interesting times.

I'm not planning on either one of them having their own car, but if they get anything as their "own" car, it's going to be the '08 Forester (if I can manage to keep it that long).
