I purchased the MotorTrend car cover after reviewing numerous reviews on Amazon. I own a 2003 BMW Z4 3.0, and was skeptical the cover would deliver at such a great price point! I keep my car outside now that my garage is used for storage. It’s not a California car cover but it’s well made, the material is soft and durable. The cover fits perfectly on my Z4( (see picture), it even comes with a rubber coated wire which slides underneath the car and secures with a provided lock. I haven’t had any rain, I’ll follow up with another review in few weeks. Overall, great price, well made! Read more

Fits my 528i BMW good. Really like this cover and I bought another one for my 545 BMW. One feature that is nice is that it doesn't have side view mirror pocket things that go over the mirrors. The cover itself is big enough to go over them. With the other covers I've had its those side view mirror covers that rip first. Good material and so far so good on durability in 100 degree heat here in Texas. Highly recommend this cover. Update 11/15/19 One thing to be aware of with this cover and others is that don't use it to cover an already wet car! For my car this caused a milky white stain to develop on my car. I can't get it off but internet searches indicate a professional detail place can get it out without repainting. Still like this cover but DO NOT USE IT TO COVER AN ALREADY WET CAR! IT CAN SCREW UP YOUR PAINT! Read more

Until one utilizes a car cover, there's no way to determine how thoughtless it was not to have done so much earlier. If a vehicle is consistently outdoors, it borders on negligent not to use a car cover...especially on older vehicles. As far as this specific product is concerned, I wished that I had used it before purchasing other offerings made by ICARCOVER. So far, the only issue has been that it doesn't come with its own straps by which it is secured. I had to leave town before the opportunity arose during which I could have used the MOTOR TREND product. While I was away, it became essential for me to purchase a car cover; but I didn't purcahse this one. The ICARCOVER I did purchase was not nearly as durable as it began to disintegrate before the first winter had passed. Before the following winter had arrived, it was necessary for me to purchase a second cover. Again, it wasn't long before it became obvious that it wasn't going to last. This experience induced the impression that ALL car covers would, eventually, and before long, begin to deteriorate...and have to be replaced. Upon retuning home, it soon became apparent that the second car cover required replacement as patching it had become an exercise in futility. So, I located the MOTOR TREND car cover that I had purchased 5 years earlier. I utilized the securing straps that came with of the other covers as well as some clamps that I purchased specifically to secure the MOTOR TREND car cover. It all worked much better than I could have expected...especially when I discovered the most efficient location to place the clamps in order to prevent wind from compromising its security. In sharp contrast with the 2 previous car covers, the MOTOR TREND car cover maintained its integrity without any exceptions. I was amazed at its durability. I discovered that a cover slightly larger than what may be determined as the "correct" size is an advantage since a cover that is too close to the vehicle's surface may adhere and trap moisture during periods of inclement and stormy weather...as well as weather that will produce ice. As it's very light, the cover may become challenging while putting it in place, and removing it, during breezy, or windy, weather. A set of bungee cords of proper length would probably be better than the straps in forming a more appropriate fit...although the straps have been more than adequate. However, the most important quality has been the cover's durability. So far, there are absolutely no areas where the surface of the cover has been compromised...in sharp contrast to other covers I have purchased from AMAZON. It's been 8 months and there's no reason for me to expect any deficiencies...in comparison to the other covers. At this time, I am thoroughly delighted with my purchase...especially in light of the fact that it was much less costly than the other car covers made by ICARCOVER. The car covers I purchased manufactured by ICARCOVER began to disintegrate within a few months after being utilized...and disintegrate is an accurate description. I would gladly make this purchase again! Read more

Wasn't really sure what to expect as some reviews were polar opposites of others. For those that want an semi in depth review here it is, as I appreciate when other sane people do it on other items. I have a 1988 Ford Mustang Mclaren that I park outside my house on the street. My garage is full with other fun cars, so sadly the pony has to stable outside. Here in So Cal we get lot's of sun and little rain. It has not rained since I got the cover, approx 2 months ago so I can not rate the water resistance ( sorry). In regards to fit, the size chart when ordering was spot on, cover fits great! Quality is much better and thicker than my Nelson Rigg cover I have for my Sling Shot. The material seems soft enough to me, my mustang has $10k plus paint job so I don't want it getting scratched by the cover. So far it's working great, with that I have tempered my expectations and I'm assuming I will have to replace the cover every year. Small price to pay to keep the mustang out of the sun : ) Read more
