I see you can buy a car cover for $30.00 & it will fit my sedan but there is no soft inside to them. I've seen another that has a softer interior & a harder wearing exterior however they're closer to $200.00. Don't mind paying this if there isn't another option.
I've moved to a house where my slim backyard now houses my car but I have no car port.
Any thoughts on brands or experiences.................anyone?

few things to remember about car covers.
- car must be 100% clean before it goes on.
- cover must be kept clean before it goes on.(If not think of it as sandpaper cover)
- dragging it on and off all the time will risk marring the paint (esp. soft Subaru paint and being black)
- being outside any sort of wind will flap the cover and also likely to marr the paint.

Yes my intention as I've moved within cycling distance of the CBD is to use the car once or twice a week. Agreed on the black, mine is full of swirls.

+1 Pierre is a top bloke. Very helpful when I went in and got a clay bar kit.
