Does my Mazda MX-5 Miata need a car cover?

I’ve just moved to a new apartment building with no covered parking. I’m used to parking my Mazda MX-5 Miata in a garage, but now that it’s exposed to the elements, I wonder if I need to purchase a car cover?

While a

 car cover isn’t necessary, it can help prevent damage from outdoor elements.
Covering your Mazda MX-5 Miata will preserve its paint, keep its interior color from fading, and keep its value from depreciating drastically.
While covering your car is a great way to protect it from the elements, you still need a solid insurance policy to stay covered on the roads. The fastest and easiest way to find great coverage for an affordable price is by downloading
