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 ?

I mean okay but in 5-10 years these are going to be those older cars.

Yeah, the point is, do it now and change the status quo, because later, it will be too late.

The comment you're replying says to buy older cars so we're not buying the new cars, hence decreasing the demand.

I agree with that. And my point being "Start the movement (of buying older cars instead of new ones) now and change the status quo (of high demand for new cars) while also being able to get older cars that cannot be subscriptionified, because later, even the older cars will be such, that they will have a subsciption, making even 2nd handers to pay the OEM".

Change the status quo now and stop buying cars. Move to walkable Transit orientated communities where you don't need one. Stop supporting this shitty industry that's always been pay to play with gas / electricity, insurance, maintenance, payments.

It seems already too late for that movement - at least in places like the more "developed" states in the US.

I use a bicycle for commute btw.

A jeep from ww1 can still function today with regular care a maintenance, and so can a 5-10 year old car. The point isn't the age, it's how you treat the vehicle.

Which is why we have to stop it now if we don't want unfeatures.

Yeah but in 100 years the cars from 5 years from now will be 95 years old
