My 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.
- nottorp 9mo agoDepending on the weather, heated mirrors may be a safety feature. I'd very much like that for rain/foggy days for example.
- Aurornis 9mo agoThis comment section went from “I don’t understand why car makers don’t sell a cheap stripped down car without luxuries” to “Heated mirrors and seats are very important” very quickly. HN comments discovering in real time why the stripped-down base model vehicles don’t actually sell. People like those luxury features and they choose to pay extra for them.
- formerly_proven 9mo agoSame procedure as every year, James.
- nottorp 9mo agoBut which ones are luxury? I don’t want a fucking infotainment system that has the fucking a/c controls on the fucking touch screen for example. And I’m not willing to pay 30% extra for electric and then wonder if it’s safe to rent a cabin in the woods for the new year’s.
