Anyone have a recommendation for a well fitting quality car cover for a 93 GT hatchback?

If that's your only choice then maybe someone else can point you in the right direction. I sincerely hope that if you'd like the paint to stay on your car and stay unblemished that you will not resort to covering it. The wind will move the cover around and destroy your paint. Wax does a far better job than a car cover.

Now that being said, if you have room to put it, here's what I did. I bought a 10X20 covered canopy(metal poles) from walmart for $73. Then I went to Kmart.com and bought a sides kit for $105 with a big zip up door in the front. Total investment $178 compare that to the price of a car cover. I have it in the in-laws yard! Here's a pic of what I have.....

Would a canopy protect the car during winter? I was planning on storing my car outside with a cover on it, but if I can get a canopy that won't clapse on top of my car when there is some heavy snow on it, then that would be great.

I haven't encountered snow with it yet, if it is bad I may reinforce the roof with some old sheets of plywood. I do hold down the canopy with buckets of cement(rope around the poles down to the cement buckets). We have an above ground pool cover here that has a slow, lw wattage fan that constantly blows up the cover so rain and snow roll right off. With very wet, heavy snow we have to go out and clear the snow off every couple of hours. I hope the canopy will be good, but if not i'll reinforce it like said.
