Ended up finding a red top in the back of the store at Advanced (34R with 800CCA). If you go with Optima know that it takes some modification with the wiring. I needed to remove a cable tie and relocate one of the positive leads. Outback started right up and is running great.

Pros: starts reliably, runs great

Cons: requires wiring modification

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

I usually get a Duralast Gold from pepboys. Not the cheapest model, but not the super premium one either. Most CCA.

Pros: most CCA

Vehicle: Mazda

Maybe last year I got a letter from Subaru Canada saying the battery was being recalled and I could get a replacement.

…After I had already replaced it with an Optima Yellow Top.

The optimas (red top) I got in 2019 are still going. They are not the best though just better than liquid.

Pros: good longevity

Cons: not best performance
