Pretty much the title. I really would like a Mazda 3 & there’s one available near me (2021 model), but I’m wondering if it’s worth going through the trouble at all if I might have the battery die on me every few days or months. Has anyone found a fix to this issue? Are Gen 4s the only ones that have this issue? There’s a 2017 available near me as well, would that be the better option?

    Is this actually a problem? The battery is a consumable item and eventually has to be replaced; even EVs have the 12V battery and it still won’t last forever. If yours goes out, just replace it with a decent brand and you’ll be back to normal. There’s nothing unique to the Mazda3 when it comes to the battery.
