As I mentioned before here or maybe on the 9-3 board. It caught me by total surprise when the 2 year old Interstate battery died in my wife's 9-3 a few month ago.
This after she came home from work (a 30 mile commute) and it was parked for a couple of hours at the most. I left the doors open for a few minutes cleaning the windshield inside and when I go to start it, it just said click, click, click.
Hooking up beefy jumper cables from my Volvo did nothing at all and I had to drive to the shop and get a new battery and all is fine since then.
It's a heck of a demand on modern cars and with the starter relay system you hardly ever get the slow crank forewarning about something going on like in the old days.
