The Optima in my Infiniti is 10 years old and still going strong but I've read so many bad things about them recently, I would be hesitant to buy another one.

Pros: 10 years, still strong

Cons: recent bad reviews

Vehicle: Infiniti

I have a red top in my 4 motion b6 Passat. I have not had any electrical issues. As long as the optima matches or exceeds the oem battery cca you’ll be fine.

Pros: no electrical issues

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B6

I have become a BIG fan of yellow top optima batteries. Mine tests out OVER 1000 CCA (only about a year old) sealed- Acid can never leak out. Deep cycle, you can run it dead without damage. Good warranty, The the batteries are built to take extreme vibrations, and have a superior design to connect the plates inside with a more solid connection.

Pros: sealed, deep cycle

Vehicle: Volkswagen
