What are you trying to protect the car from? I take it no snow/ice. Rain, any concern over debris, nuts, leaves, bird droppings, etc?

I lived in Northern VA and used a Noah fabric car cover from California Car Covers. Fits well, stuffs in trunk, lasted 6 years with me and was perfect when I sold the car, easy on and off with one person as long as the wind is moderate. Secured with elastic band around lower edges of cover. I parked under a Chestnut tree and had up to 8 inches of snow or 1 inch of ice on it. Came with a bag to stuff it in for storage. Optional was a cord to go under the belly of the car and a lock. I never used that as it survived 40 MPH winds without it and my house was pretty secure.
