and it was still in the car when I sold the car in September 2015 (and I believe it is still in the car). I can't remember exactly when I bought the battery and the mounting plate, but I believe it was sometime in 2006-2007 (receipt passed to the new owner last year). It has worked flawlessly. I am a real fan of them, and will probably put one in my 2016 GTS when the time comes.
If you are worried about a couple of pounds, there is always the option of taking it out of the driver.....

I have used the autozone replacements in several vehicles without issue. I got the ones with the higher warranty.
At least one they replaced under warranty - no questions asked and right in the lot.

I typically either buy a) what my local friendly shop sells (typically interstate) or b) Sears DieHard Professional. I put a DieHard AGM battery in my audi:
negatives; costly, heavier than lead-acid (really!, and a lot more too)
positives: very stable and long lasting - despite sitting a lot, it never even begins to drop below 12.something volts

You might even look at Walmart. I recently tried Autozone, O'Reilly's and they were both
way more expensive. Also, When replacing the battery, It's a good time to clean any
corrosion found and pull the battery tray and clean out any debris plugging the drain holes, etc.
