is this normal? does this car draw more battery than previous cars? just wondering or maybe i just had a crappy battery

The battery drain might be because the key is too close to your car. I forgot the distance, but if it's too close it constantly communicates with the car which drains the battery.
If that's the case try keep the key further away from the car when not it in use.
