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 ?

Roadside assistance doesn't even make sense as a subscription. And, for that price, none of them do.

Ive had a "subscription" for roadside assistance through my auto insurance company for years. It's like $2 a month, and I've used it 7 or 8 times for keys locked in, or flat tire, etc. it's awesome.

Charging for that is so criminal. My 2010 vehicle can do most those things already for no recurring fees

All of those things?

While there’s a bunch I am assuming you can’t look up the location of your car through an app or website, or adjust the climate controls remotely, or get alerts when the alarm is triggered.

There are some features in here that require some sort of connection, what I find criminal is that they remove the features we DO have on our old cars from the key fob and paywall them behind an app.
