So? Why would people buying the cheapest possible model care?
Remote start is a luxury feature. Just ignore the subscription offer like a luxury trim option.
Remote start isn't a luxury feature unless you also classify remote unlock as a feature. Toyota (and many manufacturers) used to use the key fob to also start the car but they disabled that so they could charge for it as part of the subscription.
It depends. What else is included in that subscription? Mirror and seat heating by any chance?
Can you buy a Toyota that isn't always online? Because having remote start available, subscription or not, sounds like you can't.
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.

Are you saying it is? Or is this a rhetorical question?
Either way, those are again luxury features. If someone is in the market for those features they’re not really looking for the base model any more.
