Our household got its first EV earlier this year, mainly for the daily 20-25 km commute form my SO, and it’s been the best car purchase we’ve ever made (only bested by my 3, which made it to 10y w/o problems this year). That “small battery” that once worried us (or more like we intentionally went with the smaller offering)? Barely a drawback - in the summer, a single charge lasts a whole week. This EV has become our go-to for short trips, and while cutting running costs by 2/3 was a big motivator, it’s now just a nice side benefit. I love the torque and started to love the silent driving. especially in a traffic jam.
Pros: love the torque, silent driving

Mazda 3
The only issues my wife and I have had on our 2021 CX9 and 3GT are dead battery issues. And we had dash and reverse cams fitted, which run and film continuously. If our street is busy, they can run the battery flat within 2 days.
Cons: drains quickly with accessories
Vehicle:
Mazda
OEM batteries are crap, replace it with something better, preferably an EFB one. Also, a healthy battery should withstand that time and even more, so yours was definitely at its end.
Cons: OEM batteries are crap, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
My car was sitting in parking lot with engine OFF and ignition ON - Android Auto was working and headlights/interior lights -> after about 15min music stops playing and I thought okay it's energy saver mode let me start engine.
But NOPE, there were some error messages, and engine couldn't start - battery was DEAD, I read battery are shit on new Mazdas and didn't want to deal with it myself and get it towed because of warranty.
Cons: battery dead quickly, no warning

Mazda
Mileage: 45000 km
Mazda uses cheap batteries, I have had to swap them on my last two CX5s
Cons: cheap quality, frequent replacement
