In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

It's the cell plan not the server costs unfortunately. When they moved to app based starting from anywhere you need to start paying the cell carrier for that wireless connection.

Servers and engineers to maintain the software and infrastructure are also not free.

Sure, but not $60/year per car expensive

No, that's still mostly the cellular connection.

Bulk cellular connection at that scale is much less than $1 per month per car.
