Dunno, I've always been under the impression that unless you keep your car exceptionally clean, all a cover does is scratch your paint! Down here in dusty Texas, you don't see them that often despite the grueling heat...

Buy a cheap Costco type shelter and park under that. What makes you want to cover the car?

I got a cover for my yaris from Empire Covers. They give ratings for all their covers for how well it protects the car in four different categories, including sun. And there are always coupon codes floating around for that site.

Not sure if you want to go to the trouble of covering the whole car every time you park though. I think the sunshade would be a lot easier.
