Battery OEM Mazda or OEM Honda
Honda batteries (at least the normal-sized ones, not so much the little 151R's) are honestly pretty solid.
Pros: pretty solid
2014 Mazda 3, about 65k km.\n\n2nd battery only because I left the lights on one time a few years ago and needed a replacement. Nil problems otherwise.
Pros: nil problems otherwise
Cons: 2nd battery
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 65000 km
2018 Mazda 6 is going fine.\n\nProbably due for a battery soon as preventative maintenance.
Pros: going fine
Cons: battery due soon
Vehicle:

The stock battery in my 2016 Honda died after four years.

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:

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
the stock battery only lasted 3 years. My VW prior lasted 7 on the OEM battery.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Mazda
Battery died less than 12000 miles. Apparently Mazda is using cheap batteries, as this seems to be a common issue. But I still see others complain about the same thing.
Cons: died early, cheap quality, common issue
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 12000 km
first issue I had was the battery at around 2000 miles, it was replaced under warranty.
Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: failed early
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 2000 km
Some of these OEM batteries they choose to use are shit.
Cons: OEM batteries are bad
Vehicle:
Honda
