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 ?

These features require the cloud, which costs money and uses carbon. If you don't want them, as many don't, you shouldn't have to force the company to price them in at the purchase.

Can you get remote start/climate without a subscription though? Because those do not need the cloud.

How remote are we talking about?

Based on what others in the thread are saying, that's already covered for free by the key fob. What they're charging for is doing it through the internet.
