Decent car mats?

[21TonyK]

Anyone suggest something half decent that doesn't end up twisted and moving around.

We have just thrown out some JCW rubber ones which you could of had. Bad timing sorry!

These are the same, can recommend…

carmats.co.uk work well for us, they won’t come with floor mounts though, so buy separately

Don’t get the cheapest ones, they’re like office carpet

I bought mine from carmats uk didn't have fixings

Just stick some velcro under the mats i use the hook bit only works a treat they don't move at all on the original carpet

Another endorsement for CarMats.co.uk I went for the “Executive” level/thickness and very happy with the fit/thickness - For a few quid more you can even get them embroidered/customised…

Hmm, not surprised you threw them out

I have bought several set of mats from Carmats4U.co.uk, I have tended to go for their rubber floor mats but I'd assume the quality across the range is good.

I have not experienced them slipping or moving around and have holes for the clips. A good fit and not overly expensive.

I’ve pissed around with all sorts, buy cheap buy twice

I typically go with oem rubber mats from eBay, but double them up

[Mr Peel]

Have seen online ads for Michelin rubbers mats which look good and are shaped by make/model. Don't know what the quality's like though. Anyone?

I’ve tended to go for carpet with rubber heel mat inset. Have to agree about avoiding the cheapest, over the years I’ve gone for just one notch up in quality and changed them annually ( depending on what sort of winter we get) . Economic sense.

It's a pity you can't just buy a drivers mat only, as it's always the drivers heel spot that wears.

My car is 11 years old, has original LR carpet mats still looking as good as new. I clean them with interiors shampoo and power wash them every 6 months or so, hanging them up to dry for a couple of days.

I've always gone OEM. Tried carmats a few years back but made a mistake and went for the cheapest versions - they were awful.

[Lo-Fi]

Just checked carmats.co... they're selling a set for my car that I do actually like. Only, they come as a set of 3; the front pair and ONE (1!) rear mat! Dafuq!?!

[anonymous-user]

Oem only. As cars get older they get harder and harder to find, if I see another new set on eBay I buy ttem as a backup.

If I ever buy a brand new car I will buy two or three sets.

A new set of genuine mats in a second hand car is the best way of making the interior feel nicer.

Genuine OEM ones tend to be fit for purpose. Are you currently using those?

[normalbloke]

I’ve only ever found originals acceptable to be fair, for fit, and mainly the securing process.
