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.

That also means the car gets a lot cheaper because of the recurring subscription model right? Right?

I wonder how they're planning on competing to Tesla like this. They basically give all these things for free in their app/car.

( Not to Tesla fanboy or anything ). But if you can pick between a car that gives you all this stuff compared to one that charges you monthly for it.....

Even though putting money in Elon's pocket is something I'd rather avoid

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

For $120 a year the Kia boys can total your car anyway!

It's not like older vehicles came with those features enabled by default. On my 15 year old pickup you can't have any of that even if you paid for it. I think this is not quite the same as other brands that are locking you out of features like heated seats.
