Just a caution, if you have a later model year car ... 200

You didn't mention what model year you have, but keep in mind:

1) if you have the '93 or '92 with ABS, you really need a short battery to clear the brake lines going into the ABS pump body. Don't be tempted to buy a larger battery (for more power) -- it won't fit.

2) if you have a '93 made in the last half of that year's production run, you will have a set of four fuses in a holder that is part of the positive terminal clamp. You need to make sure that your battery has the terminals on the forward (radiator) side rather than the firewall side (keeping in mind the positive and negative ends of the battery) so that, again, you're able to clear the ABS pump's brake lines.

3) if you have one of later model years that have a battery tray with the clamp on the bottom forward edge of the tray (earlier cars had a hold-down that went over the battery), make sure that your battery has the "shelf" or "skirt" running along the lower part of the battery so that the clamp can hold onto the battery.
