If you use the car every day dont bother with a cover unless you want to buff out all the scratches and marks in the spring. I find car covers are only good for when the car is clean so when the wind gets at the cover it has not dirt and grit to rub against.

Mine goes under one of these.

Absolutly no issues. I just added a couple of extra lines. One behind the front wheels and one in front of the rears. (In case of really strong winds).

Def agree with Andy it´s not worth it, they damage the paint especially if its a dark colour or blue you see all the scratches and it drives you crazy, better off looking for a cheap lockup. Basically the car cannot have one grain of dirt on it once you put the cover on otherwise when its windy the cover turns into a scouring pad...not good. Just give it a good coat of decent wax and that should protect it fine.
