Keeps my VW Passat clean,
I did not know there was a marking on the front end of the cover which says “Front.” So after taking it out of the box, lay it out first inside your house to locate the marking. That simple step will make life easier. There’s a string included in the bag but I did not even use it because the elastic hem was enough to keep the cover firmly in place. We had a really windy night right after I put the cover on but the next morning the cover was still there.
***UPDATE: 08/15/2013: I really liked how this cover fits on my car but sadly, after only 1 month I began noticing a significant thinning of the material. Eventually, it started shedding powdery lint. The last straw was when it ripped on several spots on the roof area while I was putting it back on the car. I emailed Budge customer service and they were very helpful. I was instructed to send in my invoice along with a cutout of the label/tag. In less than 2 weeks I got the replacement. Sad thing is it will happen again because this cover just can’t stand outdoor conditions.

Adequate,
I cannot find anything that would scratch my car, except *maybe* those grommets. The car cover fit my little Hyundai Elantra OK, but it looks rather baggy in places. On a windy day, you will need to use twine (or similar) with those grommets.
The included carrying case is useless. It is at least three times too small.
I use this car cover to defend against large quantities of guano and moderate quantities of tree sap and pine needles. Adequate, barely. A giant owl dropping would probably soak through.
Three suggestions:
If you cannot find a size that matches your brand new car, then search for the same make and model of car, but one year old. I had to do this to find a match for my ride.
Find a colorful ribbon and attach it to the grommet that will hang near the driver’s side door of your car. When deploying the car cover, you can look for this ribbon. You will then avoid trying to fit the cover backwards or sideways.
If you are going to secure the car cover against wind with the grommets and twine, then go find yourself a little key fob or something similar. It need not be big or heavy, but it should be made out of something that will not scratch your car. Keep this object tied to one end of your twine. You can toss this object under your car when using the car cover. It makes the job easy.
