Hey all,

08 Coupe here. Between living in the frozen wastelands of North Dakota and having a company vehicle in which all fuel is paid for I rarely drive my coupe. Kicked around selling it but I still like to take it out and have some fun now and then, especially in the summer.

Anyone recommend a decent car cover I can put on it? I don't need anything heavy duty as it has a spot in my heated garage. Just looking to keep the dust off it and help keep scratches and scuffs down by people rubbing up against it etc.

I used the all mighty Google and of course about 100 options or so popped up. Just wondering if anyone has had good luck with a particular brand.

Thanks!

Since you're storing the car indoors, you don't really need a fancy car cover to protect it from the elements. Any generic cover will work for your purposes. However, if you wanted to have a conversation starter, you can go for this option.

I like the cover from Nissan. I got it because i kept my car outdoors, in the apartment lot that was uncovered. idk the cost difference, the the Nissan one keeps most of the weather out. I left it on during the rain and the car was practically all dry (damp in a spot or two but nothing major) and when it snowed all the ice stayed on the cover and i didn't have to scrape the windows. Now i have a garage, and still use that cover. it's a bit overkill for just the garage, but it fits the car snug and if i ever need to leave it outside for a week or two it's nice to have. idk the price difference if you get a just indoor one.
