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 ?

I'm trying to reduce my car dependency and go car-free eventually but If I had to buy one more car it would be a pre-1995 Toyota pickup.

Is this just for info to be pushed to your phone? Seems reasonable unless there are features in the car itself that require a subscription.

Yall taking about modern cars, meanwhile my 94' Citröen works like a charm. Aftermarket alarm with GPS unmbolizer for 50 bucks does al the work.

For $120 a year the Kia boys can total your car anyway!

You wouldn't download a car?

Yeah I just won't buy that brand and if it turns into all of them. That's when I dust off my jailbreaking hat and never buy new again.

If you buy an older car, you will likely still have none of the functions listed in those supscriptions. Just don't buy the subscriptions.
