Any recommendations?

Does anyone have all season floor mats for their fit?

im debating whether to purchase a set of all season or a set of weather techs since my OEM carpet floor mats are getting pretty dirty AND this is a push for me to get new floor mats! ^.^

Floormats

Put Honda all weather mats including cargo mat in the Fit and WeatherTech in the CRV. Neither has been in snow yet as they are 2012's. The WeatheTech fits really well, is a little heavier material, and has much deeper sides on the mats and is available in 3 colors. They are much more expensive than the Honda mats, but as the saying goes, "you pay your money you take your choice".

I have Weathertech liners in front, Honda All Season in rear. Check out the threads on the Husky and Aires brand mats - they look good and cover more space in the rear than the Weathertechs.

The weathertech floor MATs are also good.

Otherwise, you can just go inexpensive and get something trim to fit generic from the auto store or costco

How does this hold up to laying things over the back lip when the seats are down. I transport a lot of large heavy boxes that are strapped down and it seems like that thing would get crushed/bent in a second. Looks really clean though!

My mat handled it with ease for a 900 mile 2 day drive as well as numerous other shorter trips. It bent flat and regained it's form every time.

Re: floor mats
-I had the Honda All-Weather ones and their fitment was terribly designed.
-The driver mat has a good fitment but all the others just look like they are in the wrong car.
-My foot wore through the carpet above the All-Weather mat of my first GE after about 70k miles.
-My wife complained a bit about the passenger side mat.
-Switched to carpet mats and have been enjoying them, but I don't drive it in snow or mud so it's not a huge deal.

@Hayden, it's pliable soft rubber, not hard rigid plastic.

Let's put it this way....

I have the OEM Honda All-Weather floor mats in my 2010 Honda Fit and if I had to do it all over again? I wouldn't repurchase.

IMO coverage especially drivers side floor, is about as minimal as possible, and the rubber is too soft. Took literally just a few months before I wore off the entire F and I imprinted into the mat.
I like what I've seen from Weathertech and maybe even those Aries matts.

The dealership threw the OEM mats in when I bought. If I had it to do over again, I would of angled for a different free perk and bought weathertechs.

The tray is designed to contain any accidental fluid leaks that may occur in the cargo area.

I wouldn't use this mat if I were loading something heavy in the back with the seats down. I'd use vinyl runners cut to size to help protect the fabric covering.

In that thread there's a link to the Aries website. They're made of three layers of material and they're weatherproof.

I recently asked Tk3 how they're wearing and he's said no real wear on them since October when he purchased them. He told me he's very happy with them.
