Comments
After 75000 miles, my roadster has gone from 194mi Standard to around 169. I drive it daily, and other than the frequency of having to replace the rear tires, I am still very happy with it. As I am approaching 100,000mi (maybe in late 2013 or early 2014) I am curious as to what my battery replacement options will be.
