Car Cover

Considering buying a car cover for my NA and am chasing a recommendation on which brand fits best and provides decent protection from the weather, especially now that that winter is approaching (hate those icy windows in the morning).

I've come across this Australian site which looks to have good quality custom fit covers but doesn't list a fitting for NA MX5 http://www.covercraft-pacificshop.com/carcovers/custom_fit_car_covers.html, yet the US site does?

Also found a few options here http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/products/car_care_products/car_accessories/car_covers but they seem to be more of a universal type fit.

Anyone else using a cover and able to offer advice?

Personally I found that putting on and taking off the cover took longer, and was more hassle than simply clearing the ice from the windows.

If you do buy one, make sure that it has a nice soft lining so it doesn't mark the paint.
Also make sure the car if fairly clean when you put the cover on, otherwise they can sometimes pick up the dirt/mud/stones/sticks from teh car in their lining and mark the paint.

That is weird you cannot find a custom cover, as I bought one from Covercraft Pacific only a month or so ago and ordered online! It was cheaper than buying from Mania.
I bought the Evolution one as I want it mainly to protect from the sun.

There's an NA6 under that! Reasonably good fit. Certainly stayed on during the strong winds in Sydney over the weekend. It comes with a rope to tie under the car as well (you can see the hole in the middle part), but its too finicky to put it on.

I thought it was weird too. This is what the site says when I do a search for a Covercraft Custom Fit Car Cover on their site - Sorry, there are no Covers available for a 1991 MAZDA

Looks like I'll have to call them to get more details. I think the NOAH Block It is what I'm after. I also noticed that NRMA shop sells discounted Cover Craft covers to members.

Your cover looks like a good fit. Does it have a hole for the rear aerial? My car has the rubber whip style aerial and was wondering if this would impede with fitment of a cover.
