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 ?

What happens when the car becomes too old and they decide to drop that version of the API the car is talking with? Huh? That's another problem with these with "critical service but it can only go through us", when they change their mind you get fucked.

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.

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.
