What kind of floor mat do you prefer?

Do you prefer the OEM carpet mats from Honda? or do you prefer the All-season mats?

all season mats man, if your going to get all season floor mats, get the hexomat floor mat, whats good about it that if water seeps from your shoes, the hexigonal shapes would trap it, therefore it woudnt slide around n such (water) This is what makes it special compared to the other all season floor mats Hexomat Floor Mats

my favorite are berber mats... but you have to have them custom made and pricy.
that's wat i run on my hobby cars. www.autosportscatalog.com has them.

next is regular OE carpet mats, but they then to stain easily.. and i tend to burn
a hole where my heel rests by the clutch pedal.

i dont really prefer it, but most durable so i use the OE a/s floor mats. i dont like
a/s matts cause foot prints show easily... and they remind me too much of
snow boots. and i hate snow.

Looks like you live in the wrong part of the world if you hate snow Reminds me of this quote...

I think that's how Chicago got started. A bunch of people in New York said, "Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's go west."

to get back on topic...I'm planning on getting the A/S mats

Here's a fact to add to Jeni's great quote (too bad that he killed himself- funny guy)-----
The first mass murderer in recorded U.S. history operated in Chicago around the time of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. You'll learn some amazing things about your city if you read Devil In The White City by Erik Larson. The first Ferris Wheel ever built was at that fair. Each car in the wheel held 25 people, and had a snack bar with hot food in each one.

Weathertech has some new AS mats for the fit that are reported to provide better protection. I haven't seen them but here's a thread from other fitfreakers -

The Honda salesman at the dealership actually recommended Weathertech mats. If you look on their site, they don't list the 09 Fit, but say to contact for other makes/models. We contacted them and they said they had no plans in the next 6 months to make any for the 09 Fit because we were the only ones interested. *Sad*

I have since ordered the A/S mats. They are due in tomorrow.

Just to throw another variable into this discussion, What about wearing dress shoes, as I do every day, in snowy states?

I have the carpeted mats ,and they hold the snow and ice melt and then dry out with the heater on the drive home. This pulls the moisture away from the right heel that is always in contact with the mat. I drive 75 Miles each way so I have plenty of time to dry the mat.

With the all weather mats are your heels always in a pool of sludge and salt water along with you pant leg? Or do the groves in the mat hold the water down below the contact area until it evaporates?

6 months?!?!? This is the reply I got:

Thank you for your interest in MacNeil Automotive.

We do not have any All Weather Floor Mats available for a 2009 Honda Fit at this time. It will probably be about 2-3 months before anything becomes available for that particular vehicle. If you would like to be notified when the All Weather Floor Mats do become available, please go to our website (www.mats.com), click on the "Customer Service" link, and fill out the "Product Request Form", and we will be able to contact you when the Mats do become available.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at 1.800.441.6287.

Best regards,

Sam

I've been holding out on buying the Honda A/S mats, but if it is a 6 month wait then I might have to give in.
