Honestly, I’m glad someone likes it. Your enthusiasm makes me hate it a little less!

Thank you for this. I was suspicious of the Mazda batteries - car wasn’t a year old when it was struggling to start in hot weather, shop said “Bad cell, luck of the draw, we replaced the battery,” and now this 6 months later. Car runs great, no mechanical complaints at all… just the battery.

I’m scheduled for service next week and I’m sure they’ll offer to swap it again. If they don’t find anything except a bad battery, I’ll drop in my own - Bosch, if I can find one :)

Thanks for the advice!
