Anyone Use the Subaru Car Cover?

Seraphiem · 04-19-2008, 04:55 PM

I finally pulled the trigger today on an '08 STI.

As I'm without the goodness of a garage I usually go with some sort of cover on my cars.

I notice the Subaru cover is relatively cheap at $70. Anybody use one or have insight into the quality of it? I have good luck with Noah covers but wanted to see if the OEM Subaru one was worth looking into.

Thanks All

Won't you run the risk of scratching it with a cover? :\

I used a Subaru cover on my '96 SVX LSi for years. It looks good, doesn't scratch and I've managed to use it on the '05 STi and now the '08 some. It doesn't fit these cars perfectly but it does do what it's supposed to. And besides, I like the SVX logo on the front of the cover.

I bought one for my 06 wrx wagon and used that halfway through the car's life, sadly living by the beach in FLorida and having a lot of trees in m yard made my black wrx look terrible so I did buy a cover from SUbaru. It did help and I kept it for my 08 STi and it almost fits perfectly. I think I am going to just use this one. It does say Impreza on the front. I wonder if the new ones say STi on them. It was a good investment though. I have been religiously using it. Salt air and tree debris will ruin our paint. I think the Subaru cover is a winner though.

if you didn't buy one go to SubaruGenuineParts.com || Where Genuine is Better! and find a guy named Jamie. He's awesome. Best deal around and he will ship it to you right away.

Maybe I got the URL wrong but I am almost positive that I talked to a man when I called there. it was a while ago.
