Looks pretty slick to me...

Your thoughts???

 

Also, let me add theres an additional 10% cash back if you use Discover card.

 

who uses Discover cards anymore just kidding..

I have the Optima yellow top (it was on sale and i couldn't pass it up), my car doesn't sit for more than a day or two so i have no trouble with it and i've had it for two years now.

 

I guess people that like top rated customer service, call centers located in the good old USA, and hands down the best cash back program out there right now. I'm in the finance field and very pro-Discover, in case that wasn't apparent! Haha. Only downfall is there are still retailers that don't accept it (similar to AmEx)

 

pssh who needs customer service! haha I'm messin with ya'. Where i work part time we accept any card that takes your money that includes Discover and AmEx.

 

I have had my Optima yellow top for almost a year with no issues. i did go about a month without driving the car so the battery did die. I jumped started the car and have had not problems with losing charge

 

Well I picked up the Autocraft Gold. 3 year warranty and 7 year prorated. 640 cca. I figure for $50 you really can't go wrong. And if it does suck, lesson learned! Haha

 

Hey folks, is it pretty simple to replace the battery? I have 2006 sedan.

Thanks

 

Remove cover, tie down, unbolt cables and remove. Very easy.

 

werd! Thanks bud.
Anything to watch out for as far as the electronics (bluetooth, bose stereo, etc)??

 

I have basic, so I can't comment on Bluetooth or stereo. My clarion (stock) has never had a problem.

 

Cool... no worries about re-pairing BT.
TPMS should be ok too I assume?

 

yes, it will be fine. When you disconnect the battery you lose your stereo presets and the clock stops until you plug the battery back in. Thats all that happens.

 

Thanks guys much appreciated!
