I've always used Optimas in the past, got 7 and 9 years out of the last two. One yellow and one red top. However reading reviews on amazon, who happens to have the cheaper price I've found for a yellow top group 35 it seems many folks are only getting 2-4 years and a lot of them are crapping the bed in less than a year. Some even weeks/months. I've also read much of the same talk on other forums. So what would you guys recommend if this seems to be the new normal for Optima?
