[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well Lexus charges a subscription fee for the remote start feature on my car.  And I assume other employ similar crappy tactics.  It's one reason why my next car won't be another Lexus. I think it's a really low ball move.[/quote]

Yep, and I hate it so much. Periodically they send me an email asking if I'd like to pay them $8 a month for the privilege of being able to remote start my car. NO, Lexus, I would not. 
I want to buy a car that does what I want it to do (and I'm happy to pay for whatever options I choose at that time) without ongoing fees.[/quote]

I’ve been looking at new cars with an eye toward buying in the fall and this is a total dealbreaker for me.  I hate it just on principal.  It will be interesting to see if this is across the board for all models (or which ones it is) and if there remains a back door option for a one time payment like we are all accustomed.

I loathe the nickel and diming of microtransactions.
