Deciding on all weather floor mats

Can't help you reviewing all those places. As for myself, I got a thin $19 SUV mat for the front and back. I chose that because it's long. I put that over the Toyota mats and it reached to the right and left edges, and protects the center hump. Then I bought those all weather mats from Costco for about $20-30. Not getting much spillage, and it was a cheaper alternative.

I was just informed that my Silver Prius would be delivered in about 30 days. Thus, I'm very interested in your search. I've changed my mind several times on this subject over the last month or so. I'm leaning toward your first listing - clear mats that hold water and dirt. That seems to get around the biggest complaint with Exactmats as you pointed out. Please let me know what you decide.

I decided to make a decision and went with your first listing. They should be shipped in 2 to 3 weeks according to the info provided during the ordering process. I appreciate you pointing out options for the floor mats. I had not considered this particular option. Hopefully, they will arrive in time to be ready for the new Prius. One item down, and several more to go (mud guards, clear bra or bug deflector, window visors, rear bumper protector, side moulding??, Prius hood products, Wheelskin steering wheel cover, windshield heat sunshade, etc.).

I am about to purchase the CARBOX floor mats for my '06 (mats4less.com has them w/ free shipping) They only mention that it fits for 2004-2005. I am pretty sure that, besides the back seats, they didn't change anything else on the inside...and would think that they didn't change the Floor design any.

Anybody know for sure?

 

We wanted to order our '06 with only the all weather mats, and not the full carpet mats. The dealer said all the cars are coming from Japan with just the carpet floor set. Is that true, as far as ya'll understand? Anyone been able to get just the all-weather mats without the other more expensive dirt catchers? thanks

 

HOLY EXPENSIVE MATS!!!

we got the oem a/w mats. i didn't think of getting the rear cargo mat- that's a good idea. but anyway, we paid $60 with the discount, they list around $80. when DH gets back i'll have him check out any info on the cargo mat.

 

geologyrox & tripod137, have either of you received your Carbox liners? I'm considering one (a lot cheaper than the Weathertech) but was concerned about materials (looks a bit "glossy" on their website) and fit. Any feedback yet?

 

OK I give up. Where did you see those CARBOX mats? I looked at mats4less and don't see them. I want to be sure to review all my choices before I make this big decision.

Nevermind...found them. Was looking on matsdepot -- duhhhhh! not mats4less.com

Anyway, they do look interesting and would love to hear feedback from anyone who has received these! Thanks.

I got those from Driving Comfort (1st reference in this thread). They are quite nice. The only problem is that the one-piece rear one is too long (both sides are cut properly - too much length in the middle). They will pay for return and replacement, but this is a pain. However, I like them enough to wait. I also may need to trim a little off the cargo one after adding my new WET OKOLE seat covers (these covers are great and rather thick). All in all, I am quite impressed. I have these on top of the stock fabric mats.

I picked up the set from sigma, they fit great. Even say prius on them.

Also the cargo mat (waterproof) very nice material and flexible. Just covers the area when the seats are up, but that is what I wanted.

 

Where did you grt your sigma mats?

 

Yes, that's the way ours arrived from the boat. We just got the oem Toyota all weather mats today. They are quite heavy-duty and should work out well for us. The factory mats will be stored until the weather dries out (maybe July :blink: ?).

 

I've only seen the OEM all weather mats in BLACK. Has anyone seen Toyota mats for Prius in Beige (to match my Bisque leather interior)?

It's crazy because I know the carpeted floor set that came from Toyota are to protect the carpet but I don't want THEM (mats) to get covered with sand, snow and road salt....so I cover them. Right now I have my old EXACT mats from my previous car on them, cut to fit by me. But they don't cover to each side and also they've gotten very yellow/brown in areas even though I washed them. For this reason I won't be buying exact mats again, although it's serving it's purpose in the cargo area.

I'm still deciding on the best solution. It's crazy....something as trivial as this should take 2 seconds of thought....but I'm obsessing over every aspect of my new baby.

 

I got the Carbox mat for the hatch. Snug fit. Looks great. Love this mat.

I didn't go w/ the CARBOX for the "interior" as I was worried that the high sides of the front mats might start to shrink/curl in over time (We got someone elses carbox type mats for my wife's suv and they are not staying flush w/ the rug anymore...so...on occassion, you can catch your foot on it while getting in). For the Prius, so other mats whos rear seat mats convered the hump. I can't remember the name of them right now , but I can find out when I get home. I would have liked a better fit for the fronts, but they seem to be the same style/configuration that they sell at my Toyota Dealership.

But the Carbox cargo mat is great...yes..it covers up the tie-down loops in the front...but I rarely, if ever, use those anyway.

 

I just ordered some from here.. they look nice and priced well
