My replacement was a Blue Top 34M and it's 8 years old. No issues with Optima here.
I've had great luck with the Optima Yellow Top DS46B24R for Gen2.
I've run Optima red tops for years and never had a problem.
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.
I’ve had good luck with the VW OEM Varta batteries.
I had a Yellow top optima installed for my subaru around 2015, it lasted until just today - held out well
I had a Red Top Optima battery, but it’s so dead that even my NOCO AGM charger won’t recognize or charge it.
Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.
I went through 3 red tops within 2 years because of bad cells.
I got stuck getting an optima for my truck because the one that was in it literally exploded.
