My city driving usually involves too many stops, I wouldn't bother with the cover, plus we have some real unpredictable weather as well. If I was going for a road trip or something though with a long top down drive, then maybe I'll use it for the first time to see how it looks

It does protect the top when it is down and does give the car a nicer look. I usually use mine if I know I will be keeping the top down for a while, like after work and I know that I will just park it in the garage and will drive with the top down the next day. Otherwise it can be kind of a pain to get out and take it off (or put it on) everytime.

I just found mine over the winter - I had tossed it into storage when I bought the car four years ago, and never used it. I want to try it this year and I'll keep using it if it's not a total pita.

I use mine when I plan to take pics of the car or if its a nice day and I know I'll be out with the top down for a long time. I think I've used it three maybe four times since I got the car. If I didnt have mine already I'd buy one for $50.

mine is rarely used, but I also got mine for free (the car didnt have one when I bought it)
It looks nice, but I only put it on when the weather is really really nice. It can turn pretty quick here, however, and I like the ability to just throw the top up quickly without having to get out of the car if I have to.

I have a tonneau cover but don't use it. It is REALLY a big PITA despite what others have said about it being easy to install with experience. Besides, I like my quick access to the top.

was this a factory option?
If you bought your car used and didn't get one, it's because the original owner sold it or plain forgot about it.
