I was in Autozone the other day, and the guy there was griping about batteries. Seems he gets a lot of complaints about the Optimas, but very few about the Duralast yellows (3 year). Seems when people pay $150 for a battery they expect it to be a lot better than if they pay $89, but they're really not that much better.
Unless you live somewhere that gets really, really cold, or unless you're planning to keep the battery after the MR2 is gone, get the smaller size. The MR2 has a gear-reduction starter that doesn't use that much power, and the engine spins up pretty easily. Heck, if your battery dies, the MR2 is pretty easy to push-start, even for one person. There's no reason to lug around the extra weight.
