A fool and his money are soon parted. From the same class of vehicles that tried to lock heated seats behind a monthly subscription.

You know what's nice? Those cars can F right off. I won't buy one new. And never will buy one used.

Always will be "budget" cars (Corolla, Civic, Versa, etc.) that won't screw around with this crap because the buyers can't afford to screw around with it.

TRY to paywall a heated seat in a Civic. I dare Honda. It won't be more than 10 minutes before someone has it badly wired up like an aftermarket subwoofer.

Cars and trucks are one of the best examples of how effective things like marketing can be. It's unreal what people are willing to pay for in order to have a vehicle that fits their self-image.
