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 ?

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.

Is it reasonable? I can hardly imagine it provides $59 worth of value.

Roadside assistance alone can be worth it. AAA's most basic plan for instance is $64.99 by itself.

True, I suppose I’d have to see how comprehensive their road side policy is to make a decision there.

But for the rest of it, a handful of API calls? Certainly not worth it.
