Why not this one if you want an Optima battery:

It's a group 35. The Red Top you posted won't fit probably due to dimensions, but more importantly terminal locations. The Yaris needs the posts facing rearward, and the positive on towards the right hand side (left if you're looking at the battery from the front of the car), and negative post on the left hand side. That Red Top is the opposite.

when checking fit to the one you linked it says does not fit/not compatible?
