I do have a Yellow top Optima battery in my VW Jetta MKV 2007 and I just had one problem a little time ago since one of the terminals needed to be tight again... but that's pretty much it, it works just fine.
I've had very good results with mine, and I just get whatever would fit a New Beetle TDI. NBs take a reverse terminal battery and it's nice and compact.
Although now I run an Optima Redtop that doesn't need to vent.
always a safe bet to get a good optima battery, i drained my cheapo oem battery several times before i became fed up with it. optima has help up great
I've owned a red top for the last two years which I know is not very long but haven't had any problems either.
I have had an optima for my Jeep Wrangler for close to 3 years. Never any problems. I have left the lights on a few times too draining the battery... never any problems after recharging either... not sure why everybody hates them.
I have an optima Yellow top in my GLI. Everything went in easy... very awesome battery i must say. I have a large sound system with a cap and this battery has never failed me.
I liked my old optima. lasted 7 years. I've heard the new ones are Interstate brand now and are no good. I will not buy again based on what I've been hearing. too bad.
Yellow tops are great, but since they switched the Redtop to the new design, it's a joke.
I had the yellow top in my 97 and It was nothing but problems, I know that doesnt help you answer your questions... Just saying
