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?

    I had a 3 since 2014 (bought new), no issues at all. Replaced with a CX-30 (which is a 3 in high heels) in '21 and still no issues at all. My car sits around a lot, been working from home since Covid - so, it’s a prime candidate for battery issues, but none so far.

    (I’m in Europe btw, maybe they use different brand of batteries here?)
