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

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.

Yes, 2009 Audi TT, $800 as part of my yearly service in LA. Complained to Service advisor about the labor, and he took 20% off the battery portion.

Pros: 20% off

Cons: expensive labor

Vehicle: Audi TT
