alt Hacker NewsMy point was you can buy a car that is primarily safety+capability and not luxury+subscription. My rav4 has a touchscreen and power windows but that’s literally it as far as convenience/luxury. ~28k a couple years ago, no subscription.
Anything heated, remote, touch to start, etc is in the luxury category what gp was asking about avoiding.
Depending on the weather, heated mirrors may be a safety feature. I'd very much like that for rain/foggy days for example.
