That's all well and good when you can park under trees all the time. At work my car just bakes in the sun so i need that sunshade in the summer especially.

"OEM paint specifications usually require the addition of ultraviolet absorber technology in their clear coat systems for protection against photo degeneration (sun fading)."

This isn't really a guarantee but it provides some peace of mind. Paint is an important part of any car and no big name manufacturer (subaru or toyota) is going to run the risk of bad reviews on their cars over something they get at bulk prices and use constantly

LOL I think you missed the Canadian joke.

BOTH the days we have sun.

We actually have loads of sun and I have considered a sunshade a few times. Even if it just lets the AC take hold quicker it would be better. I just know I would be too lazy to put it up all the time.
