I bought this to cover my son’s Miata. It is a little big for it. It is however very well made and the fabric is thicker than the last cover I bought. It has been on the car outside in full sun since early spring with no signs of wear. I would buy this again.

I highly recommend this durable and effective car cover.
The background is I travel a lot and didn’t want my car sitting exposed to the elements in an airport parking lot for three days each week.
When I looked at options I wanted something which:
1. Was well made so it would last
2. Was thick enough it would actually protect my car in both the summer and winter
Since I couldn’t actually see it in person I used the product weight as a way to compare across product in addition to the description. The idea being given the same material, the heavier the cover the better the protection.
I’ved used it for several months now and am very happy I didn’t try and save $10 to $20 and buy something cheaper. Specifically:
1. Fit — It fits my car just the way it said it would and the elastic around the edges feels very thick so it will last. To be clear, it doesn’t fit like a glove where the mirrors have their own place to stick into but rather more like a mitten where all the corners and curves of the cover generally match the car itself well.
2. Durability — This feels really well made and even if it is hot out when I take it off the car the car itself feels cool when I get in. A big plus. I haven’t had it in a big rainstorm yet but I did notice some wetness after some rain on the outside of the cover and none on the inside or on the car itself.
3. The Lock — The lock it comes with (connects from the middle of one side of the cover when it is on, under the car, to the other side) is okay but would be really easy to defeat. I’m guessing the key benefit is to: a) keep the cover from fully flying off in a huge wind storm (it hasn’t even lifted off a corner so far in 40 or so actual days of use) or if someone tried to just mess with it.
4. Ease of use — it comes with an attached bag but I usually just roll the cover up from the back of the car to the front with the bag attached but sticking out so it is easy to quickly put it on the car since I know I’m starting from the right end and with the right side out. When I’ve rolled it I just fold it over onto itself and put it in the trunk. Easy on, easy off.
Note, it doesn’t have one of those windows for your license plate but if you need that where you park it would seem easy enough to simply magic market the license number on as I’ve seen others do.
Hope this helps. Lots of options out there. This met all my expectations and has worked really well so far. Well worth the price and pays for itself in reduced need for car washes and, I’m assuming, over the long-term a nicer car interior due to less UV and heat damange.
