    Hi!

    We are thinking about ordering exact mats to keep the carpets clean.

    Thoughts?

    Also, did you get the separate backseat mats or the one
    that covers the hump?

    Thanks!
    Victoria

    We got the exact mats for our car after I noticed a stain on the drivers side carpet after only a few days of driving. We got the separate mats for the back, we don't carry passengers often but if we had kids we may have gotten the one that covers the hump - but I was also concerned about fit, these are pretty rigid plastic mats. Also got the cargo mat. They are excellent and work well. Easy to clean with a small broom too.

    We also bought the leather cover for the center console between the front seats. It is nice and protects the console from getting dirty which we heard happened easily.

    I should also add we have the lighter Bisque interior.

    I have them and I like them, especially the looks. The downside is that they don't have channels and outside lips to catch dirt and moisture. So I probably have to vacuum a little more than with conventional mats, and I throw a conventional mat down on the driver's side when the weather's bad. I'm not sure how they would do if I routinely hauled my kids.

    I have the separate mats for the back.

    We got the set, with the one continuous piece for the backseat.
    I do like them, though they don't have any sort of lip around the edges, so if you are looking for spill-proof-ness, you might consider the all-weather mats.
    They are stiff, but they do fit really well. We actually left the carpet set under them, which I think makes the floor more comfortable.

    I have a complete set and bisque interior.

    I have the separate back ones and one for the cargo area.

    No, they don't have lips to be spill proof, but I do like them a lot. I would buy them again.

    Leather cover? Did you buy that online also?

    Now Im a little confused...

    When I look at the mats online, I see different packages with the
    cargo area being sold separately, correct?

    So if I want all of them, I would order the set for the front/back
    and then for the cargo area? That would be 124 total?

    Get the weathertech liners, they are well worth the extra dough if you want to contain mud, sand and such in an easily cleaned liner.
