So far there's subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

I do believe the Japanese engines are available as a result of their having stricter emissions requirements, BTW…

I was under the impression that it was because of expensive inspection requirements based on mileage (or maybe age, sources I found are unclear) that cause a lot of cars to get parted out at 100,000 km regardless of their actual condition.

Could be - tbh it's been a minute since I looked into those. Either way, a low mileage pull is an excellent option and will last the life of the car if well maintained..
