I don't like rubber mats, so I put up with them.
Cheers.

I've had WeatherTech mats in a Ford Ranger and I liked them, but they seem too "truckish" for my little orange Fit.
I'm a bit fanatical about having mats that really fit properly, so the generic ones from Wal-Mart don't appeal to me at all. Nor do the "free" ones with the dealer's name screen-printed on.
Does anyone have any experience with either the coco mats or sisal mats from AutoSportCatalog.com? I like the look--sort of vintage European, but I have never bought from the company before, and they are pretty expensive.

Looking at the pics of the coco mats brings back memories - personally i think they fit the angular, utilitarian designs of those older cars better than they would in a Fit. Hell, buy 'em and slap 'em in - post pics!! If they blow, eBay 'em while they're fresh...

Cheap mats + anti-slide trick
I decided to temporarily use some cheap universal mats in my AT Sport and take my time looking at options for good mats. But the cheapies (Sears Weatherhandler, very similar to Kraco's) have molded down to the footwell quite nicely and they have nice deep, slush catching grooves, so I'm surprisingly happy with them. One trick I can recommend is to use some of that tacky, rubbery shelf liner matting under the drivers side mat (folded into a triple layer in my case). It keeps the mat from sliding very effectively. It works better than the OEM Honda clips (wife has those in her Fit with Honda carpet mats), because the clips still allow an annoying little 1/4 inch or so of wiggle. My mats are in there solid with the shelf liner underneath.
For you guys with the Weathertech's, those do look really nice though. Definitely the gold standard.

Well, I thought about doing a mod on some cheaper mats and all, BUT.... I've spent five years in a Jeep Wrangler, always modding and making things work. I'm ready to just buy and install without having to cut and work at it. The weathertechs are looking awfully nice to me, that edge to edge coverage really does look good. Does anyone have real life pics of them, I'd like to check out that fitment a little bit closer before dropping the cash on em....
