7. These features are "subscriptions?"

I don't understand. Do drivers in NJ have to pay a recurring fee (a subscription) for these extras? Here in PA they come with the car (as I'm sure they do in NJ) but you pay for them only once, when you buy the car. You can buy a car without those features at the time of purchase, if you're willing to wait for a special order.

At least that's how I think it works. The only subscription we ever had was briefly for Sirius radio in the car.

I'm 75 and was grateful for the heated seats in our new car, but we bought off the lot. I'm not sure I would have ordered this feature if we had ordered a specific set of extras and waited it for the car to arrive.

Have I got this all wrong?
