the battery will not show up saying it old and not working 100%.
it only shows up if it can not charge or dead.

the computer logs the performance of the battery and can tell when they are dying. thats why sonething on the computer need to be reset when installing new battery, otherwise it will get a little confused, so I read on the internet.
But if you planning to own the car for a few year then don't bother and save the money on the mods

btw, did your mrs had 15" and 16" for front and rear? one owner told me putting 16" at the front affects the handling.

the guys I spoke told me its v easy to drive so I guess they dont push as hard as you and me

but when the traction breaks and the car starts to slide, you got to react very quickly otherwise it will end up a crash
(Maybe my skills is poor though
)The standard MRS has 15" wheel (Wider rear), the facelifed model (2003+ i think) will have 16" as standard if i am correct
One advise from me, if you going to get one, get the manual and forget the semi auto, its rubbish!
