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, doesn't even have to be old. My Toyota Yaris is a 2023 model and it has no subscriptions. Such cars still exist, but they are mostly in the lower end market, because automakers assume if you have the money for an expensive car you also have the money for a subscription.

The list of manufacturers I can morally buy from is ever shrinking... Soon Dacia will be the sole manufacturer I could buy from without weird BS attached.

Kia and Ford were EVs I considered but ultimately turned down.

You could say that's... great news.

Yes and no, I'm never happy about having less options. Plus my boycott does very little.
