Using the Gold one in a 2010 Ford Focus.
Personally, I like it very much and it is a great improvement over the more standard shade I had before (previous was also accordion style but was flexible and looked a bit like aluminum bubble wrap, and was not at all fitted to my car). The biggest issue I had had was that I couldn't find one that was sized to my car such that it would properly stay in the windshield without sagging down. The particular one I had was also long enough that I had to stuff it around the windows (though kind of nice for partially shading a window, it made it less easy to put in and keep in).
This fits perfectly. It is the exact right shape for the windshield. Pulling down the visors keeps it in nice and snug and it doesn't have any real cracks along the sides at all to let sun in.
It does keep the car cooler as well (tested in the summer in Tucson, AZ...), though the gold side does get so hot you do have to be careful when pulling it out not to burn yourself. The back is a black velor that does not get hot.
Part around the mirror is good. Could be a little closer, but I still don't have much light getting through. It sags into the visors just enough to throw almost a perfect shadow.
Only complaints are: 1) stitching between panels looks sloppy and like if it starts to come out, it could pull out quite a bit. 2) panels are filled with thick cardboard. This is bad on the sides because it's such a tight fit that it's tempting to force it into place when you're in a hurry. I already bent mine...and it's just like bending a flap on a box. It'll never be quite unbent again. Still works fine though, but for the price, I dunno...I think both of these make it seem a little cheaper in construction that I would have expected.
Overall, a good solution though.
