They're $99. Been looking at these too. When you say "a bit off" are they worth the money? These OEM all weather mats just aren't doing anything for me these days.

yeah...abs plastic or rubber is always a little stiff when they're new. over time and some heat, they will mold perfectly along the floor.

Those look slippery as hell. I don't know why all weather mats are so popular here, I hate em. Although I understand why you would prefer them over carpet mats if you see lots of crappy weather and snow.

Well the all season mats I tried out in my friends car were horrible, my foot kept sliding. And personally I think they look horrible. I just think that kinda stuff belongs on trucks or if you live up north. But hey that's just my opinion and I'm sure 90% of people on here will disagree.

I might have to get some of those before next winter hits. The slop we get everywhere here from November through March will turn a set of carpet mats into nasty crusty salt sludgesickles in no time.

I'm thinking about getting some to run during the winter months. I'll keep the carpeted mats for summer. Where would I find a set of these?

i switch between all season and carpet depending on the weather.. i don't let the carpet ones ever get wet. i like to drive barefoot when there is warm weather too.

cheap universal cut to fit mats are all you need for winter though. mine aren't slippery either.

if the weather was nice all of the time i would definitely always use carpet

I like the look of those mats better then the OEM's. My mats OEM don't have the high sides and the dirt will slide off the mat.

I've had a set of weather tech's in for about 2 weeks now and like you the fit was a little off but seems to be fitting better now as time goes on. I think the weather tech's are the best all weather mats out there. I have them in all my vehicles and the carpet beneath them looks as good as the day they left the showroom and have never slipped on any of them. Hoping they come out with the rear set soon.

Granted they are pricey but as Mole said you get what you pay for. They will be the last set of floor mats you will ever need unless you decide down the road you want something else. They just don't wear out. Look at the price of the OEM all weather mats and compare the quality.
