Measure the box it goes in and get the highest CCA one you can - I always go for the longest guarantee so if you have an issue you can get a replacement (4 years min). Mark the box location before you remove the 2 studs under the car as you'll never get it back otherwise. It should be an 072 equivalent.

What FFG has mentioned above is spot on but as an option, I have always used an 069 which is very similar duty wise and also has the battery poles in the correct configuration.
