Do Mazda 3s have battery problems?

Do new Mazda 3s suffer from battery problems? We went for a test drive today and the salesperson had to charge the battery before the car would start. This seemed to be a regular occurrence!.

Not that I'm aware of. It's probably just because the car is sitting on the forecourt unused, it's not unheard of for dealers to pull out the battery pack before a test drive. We list all the issues we're aware of on the car.
