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 ?

Honestly the people who defended subscription models for something that you already paid & own are dumb

You don't own the cellular towers your car needs to connect to in order to work with the app.

Cars shouldn't require cell phone towers to function. It's a CAR.

It doesn't. The car works just fine. The features that require a cell phone are specific to operating your car while not present at your car.

But you do pay to use the network. So, you're still paying for it.

That's the point. It IS a subscription. The person I'm responding to believes that it shouldn't be and that they've paid for it already.
