it really depends if your car is stored inside or outside. the outdoor car covers are great for protection against weather, but most will scratch the paint if jostled. if you have an expensive paint job that you want to protect, you will want a cover made from tan flannel. though this kind of cover is very protective of paint, it has terrible weather protection (it has the best breathability) and is therefore only for cars stored indoors. albeit expensive, a tan flannel cover is a great investment and they are almost always car specific, though you can find universal ones if your car has a body kit.

I thought I share. This is not my own sale or whatever. I bought a car cover from ebay, I couldn't come to grips on buying a $200+ car cover. I thought about Pepboys car cover and stuff. I have one for my old Corolla, generic fitting universal car cover that was $60 or so. But I took a chance at ebay. Here's the results:

I am amazed at how this car cover fits, looks so perfect. Pockets for mirrors, too! My mirrors are not in the pockets because I have a replica Vertex bumper and I made the cover stretch down to cover the whole bumper down below the splitter. But if I had a factory bumper or similar, possibly with a lip, the mirrors would go in the pockets perfectly.
I am not sure of the material it is made of but it is shiny gray.
Supposedly this is a waterproof cover. The cover I bought from Pepboys was suppose to be waterproof. After a rain, I took the cover off and my Corolla was wet, the cover absorbed the rain. I have not tried any water on this ebay cover yet.
