Default Convertible Cover?

I bought a used MY 06 recently. It did not come with the convertible cover (the thing that covers the top when it is down). The seller ordered one and had it shipped to me,

It is HUGE! Where do you keep it? Does anyone actually lug it around and use it?

My last convertible was a (99) miata. The cover was just a little piece of vinyl that folded flat (I never used it).

The Honda one seems huge and ungainly. Came in a 2' x 3' box; Weighs 10 lbs at least. Maybe its the wrong one or something?

You should use it a few times on sunny days so it stretches out. It comes folded so it won't fit that well at first.

I use it when I go on longer scenic drives. It makes the car look much cleaner and helps keep all the dust from getting in the softtop joints.

its a hassle to lug around... i've owned a miata before too... even then it was a hassle to use the convertible top cover (someone correct me if i'm wrong but the term for it is tonneau cover right?) anyway, i've had a couple convertibles and i actually have 3 covers in my garage now... one for the miata, one for the celica, and one for the S.... i used em all once....

Twice, PITA to lug around. Doesn't fit nicely in the trunk. I always put the top up to park and down to drive so, I'm too lazy to deal with that thing.

I guess I am the exception. I love the way it looks and use it more often than not.
