    I purchased this battery in March of 2008 and the battery is now dead as of January 2009. I contacted Optima to attempt to arrange a warranty exchange, and they passed the buck by directing me to contact Amazon, to which I was told that they would not honor a warranty exchange, or refund on account of the shipping restriction they have on this item. I am now stuck with a $150 paperweight on my workbench, and have since replaced my battery with an OEM style replacement battery from my local auto store that will actually honor my warranty should I need to use it.

    Optima batteries are excellent products that nary have any problems, but I will *NEVER* purchase another Optima product based on the lack of customer support that I received.

    This is a great battery, however the people at Amazon were giving me much trouble for something that was their own fault. Either way, the battery is with me, although it arrived in a broken box!

    Also, This battery DOES fit the Subaru WRX, this is the correct battery (8020-164), although all the other information on this page is incorrect (which I found out after talking with Optima themself)

    Because of the issues in the reviews of people getting damaged batteries that neither the shipper, Amazon, or Optima would take care of, I decided to get mine locally. It was about $15 more at Costco than at Amazon but I got it right away and didn’t have to worry about any shipping damage. I have terrible luck in getting defective things so I didn’t want to risk shipping a 40 pound box around and nobody wanting to pay for it.

    My starter now turns over much faster than before. The battery also looks pretty cool under the hood. The red color naturally will make the car go faster too! ; )
