What are the best fit and quality all weather mats for the Prius? Straight from Toyota or WeatherTech?
The Weathertech Digital Fit mats provide the best protection and fit for the passenger area. I like the rubber Toyota mats for the cargo area as it's easy to access the lower cargo area. Most Weathertech rear mats I've seen are one-piece - good for messes but not access.
I just got a set of WeatherTech Liners for my Prius c and I'm very pleased with them. They're a perfect fit and look like they will catch all the winter rain and snow. The best deal I could find for the c was at Cabela's, $99.99 delivered. They list them under their own brand name of TrailGear, but the package came direct from WeatherTech about a week after I placed the order. Search Google for a code for free shipping, otherwise it's $12.95.
Autocustoms.com has regular group-buys on ridgelineownersclub.com. You can sign up and order Prius mats instead of Ridgeline mats. On their last group buy, I bought mats for both vehicles at a very good discount. One set was their shop and the other set were sent directly from Weathertech. The current group buy is just wrapping up, so move quickly if interested. TonneauCoversWorld.com WeatherTech DIGITAL Floormat GROUP BUY!! - Page 21 - Honda Ridgeline Owners Club Forums
The Husky liners provide the best protection from excessive water. I prefer the WeatherTech liner look.
I've got the weathertech front digital fits and the trunk liner. Very happy with them so far and looking forward to see ing how the mats (trays more like!) handle our snow this winter.
I tested how much water they could hold before leaking through the hold downs. It took about half a"red beer cup". Judgeless has had bad experiences with these mats in snowy weather. Here are a couple pics of my test.
Good test, and I'm not surprised by the leak around the hold downs. I suppose you could silicon caulk that area - wouldn't take much, and it could probably be peeled off if you needed to remove the liners.
Aye. The Husky liners are a lot deeper though. If you deal with lots of snow and wear deep treaded boots then I wouldn't trust WeatherTech liners. For just about every other situation I think the WeatherTech liners are great. That is why I bought another set after I sold my 2005.
I'm thinking about the suburban snow we get on Long Island, along with the grit on the roads, and I think the WeatherTechs will do fine with most of it. We had one storm last year that was two feet, but more often it's a few inches that turns to slush.
There's a really long thread on the Husky's. They hold a ton of water and most folks are very happy with them. For me though, the driver's side moves and creates and area that gets dirty. I'm in rural Vermont, so dirty slushy snow and mud is a 5+ month issue.

I never understand why people have to start a new thread about the same thing every day. I need new snow tires for my Prius is the worst. There are 3 new topics a week on that. This is a STICKY topic has been covered to death on floor mats, both Husky and Weather Tech. Weathertech "Digital Fit" Extreme Floor Mats now available for 2010 Prius | PriusChat
