Jumped a cascadia '21 with my 2014 Kia Sorento

The battery in my EV6 lasts longer than my wife’s bladder can hold on a road trip and the speed of charging means that by the time we’ve headed into the services, toilet, maybe grab a coffee and we’re back at >80% basically every time. In good conditions we get 300 miles to a full battery, worst I’ve had is 260 and that’s with AC, heated seats, not driving like a granny etc.
Pros: long range, fast charging
Vehicle:
Kia

When I experienced a sluggish start, it was the battery. In my experience, this car prefers Honda batteries. It’s been going strong for 3 years now. It’s also one of the more affordable batteries.
Pros: starts reliably, long lasting, affordable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 170000 km

Battery on my '22 HRV Sport died within the first year of owning the car. Honda agreed it was defective.
Pros: Honda agreed defective
Cons: died within one year
Vehicle:
Honda
I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.
It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
Cons: idling stop destroys battery
Vehicle:
Honda City
