Best of luck with your new ride! Sorry, I've never used a car cover on any car that I've owned.

I think the OEM cover is very well made, and of course fits the car well. One thing about covers you need to be careful of, is to NEVER put a cover on a dirty car. It will act like sandpaper and scratch the finish.

Good for storage, but limited value for daily use.

Go to Autoanything.com....they have some good range of indoor and outdoor covers...I have the custom made weathershield in black. I live in a condo without a garage so I have to use a cover....not ideal but reality. They also offer free shipping and have a memorial day sale going on. good luck

I'm in the same predicament as you... plus my space is under a tree!

Do you wash after every drive or just accept the scratching that will occur with a cover on a dirty car?
