 Out of couriosity I just checked the battery tray on all three
vehicles.                                                    
 Not posasabiblty of installing a 24F in the Subaru's without repalcing
the Battery tray. The depression is sized for the group 35 Battery.
Also checked my Friendly Wal-Mart for battery prices and found the 1
Year Free replacements running $29.95 and the 2 year Free replacement
ones running $39.95
Looks like the $120 Gell Cell type in NOT in my Future.
