Car Cover for California weather

I'm looking for a car cover for my 16' CX-5 that does a great job protecting against the sun, that is relatively light weight and compact when stored. Snow is not a factor and rain seldom. Other than the 10 hrs or so I spend at work everyday the car will mostly be garaged. I have the black interior so really want to keep the sun away from that as well as protect the car. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This place seems to have quite a selection and it sounds like high quality.

Really not necessary these days, and you run the risk of scratching the paint while manipulating the cover. The sun in Texas is at least as punishing and my car spends most of its life out in it. Keep it waxed and use a decent protectant on the interior, and it'll be good for years.
 
Thanks for the feedback. Your opinion seems to be the popular one regarding car covers to my surprise. I figured covering the car was a no brainier for maintaining the luster of the paint and interior. I guess I'll return the cover and put the money towards a clear bra.
