When I had my 85 Golf, I used the smallest motorcycle battery I could get 
away with (I felt I needed at least 100 cca), and lazily used it into the 
month of January one year.  100% of the time in the car.  No problems even 
on cold (for Indiana) afternoons after work.  On the other hand I've never 
been able to use a lawn/garden tractor battery longer than one summer season 
on a riding mower.  I just don't think they are designed to last more than 
4-6 months of use.  Of course YMMV.
GOD loves each of us,
Don
