Probably the easiest car to swap a battery on imo. Just remove and replace, negative off first. Bosch is good quality, but not required...Use 80Ah 12V.

Pros: easy to swap

I bought these both for the same exact car but both the box and product appear very different, and the bottom set ended up being ridden with parasitic drain!

Cons: parasitic drain
