You’re right about the CX-5. Strike it from the list, it is too small for car seats.

I second all the votes for a new battery. The factory batteries are good for about 3 years.

If you have the budget, spend a little more and get an AGM battery. In the US, I got mine from Autozone. They will check your battery and charging system for free.

I haven’t seen a big Mazda TV push since the Zoom-Zoom ads of the early 2000’s.

I’m considering 1a Auto Parts.

Either 21 or 22.

The neighbors had a Nissan Rogue. It battery drained while parked. Twice I saw it towed off to the dealer on a flatbed.

They traded it in for a CX-5.

I’ve always thought Nissan quality was low, and anecdotal observations buttress that viewpoint.

I have the same problem as OP after a recent battery change. Thanks for the tip, I think it explains it.
