I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car

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.

Most decent new cars don't have any major issues that would strand you on the side of the road for the first 10 years

New cars have magically new never-die batteries, never puncture tires, radiators that never crack, pipes that never split or come loose, etc now?! Holy cow, why haven’t we heard about this before?!

Lots of new cars don't even come with a spare tire. They either don't have anything or at best include a can of fix-a-flat

Are you spending 50k on new vehicles? Have you ever bought a brand new car? Are you commenting on a sub brought together buy a common thread of stealing content?

Maybe consider that.
