Never been a fan of car covers, I've used a couple of them and found they mark the paint work at the edges of the car where they rub in the wind and keep the damp in. I used them on cars which I was going to restore so not really a problem with the paint.
Best thing to do is not cover the car and use it, unless you have a garage to stick it in, cars don't like sitting about through out the winter, you are best to use them to dry them out and keep things moving.

Firstly you get what you pay for. 

I park mine over winter in a damp, ratty old garage as it's cheapish and I don't have one of mine own.

I live in Austria and guess what,  it gets darn cold and or wet.

I bought a top quality one, but can't remember the name. 
It's 5 ply, the top layer is waterproof and the inside one is as soft as a new duster. 

Used it for two winters so far on my Cabby with no issues. 
No marks or swirls on the paint and as dry inside as the Sahara Desert.
It's designed to be used outside with proper straps to secure it properly.

They cost about £150 or more but worth every penny. 
If I remember the name of it I'll let you know!   :thumbs:
