I’m planning to buy my first car, but I’m seeing a lot of brands implementing policies that seem to take advantage of their customers. Things like requiring extra subscriptions for basic features, tracking driving habits, and forcing unnecessary data collection have me worried. Are there any car brands out there that don’t engage in these types of anti-consumer practices? I’m looking for a reliable company that respects its customers in the long run. Any advice would be appreciated!

I don’t know much about cars so I thought Lexus is Toyota’s high end brand? Is there something wrong with them? Do they use Ford parts or something?

From what I know, they are just very expensive to repair/ work on. Also difficult to work on which requires a well trained mechanic

Oh what I meant was only get a lexus. Don’t get a mercedes or BMW. Lexus is mostly Toyota parts and incredibly reliable.

Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
