Lame thread question: Rubber or carpet

**jboldt** · 09-15-2008 03:33 PM

I am looking to get new floor mats. I'm leaning towards the rubber ones. Are they good? Do they stink?

i love mine!

they don't really stink.. you can smell them when first getting in the car but it isn't annoying

rubber - easier to clean!

Rubber for winter. Im looking for a pair too. There was a set on CL but when I called they were sold. Tis the season for rubber mats.

I have a set with the A6 logo on them. They actually add a nice sporty look to the interior, which I didn't really expect. Hard to explain I guess, maybe one of those you have to see in person things. They are great for cleaning. I don't worry so much now about getting in the car when my shoes have dirt or mud on them. I definitely recommend them.

I got mine from Don Rosen Imports through eBay. I believe you can reach them at

Rubber x 1000...best purchase ever for my daily driver.

anyone used WeatherTech floor mats?
I have trunk mat from them, and I love it.
I like how they are shaped, anyone actually using it?

I have a Weathertech mat for the trunk in the S6, nice, i like it, just take it out shake it a couple times, and throw it back in....good to go.

OEM Rubber mats definitely get my vote.
Deep grooves, great water and snow handling, easy to clean, look sweet with the black interior, and better durability than carpet.

What's not to love?

Rubber. I need to find my set since winter is on its way. I got a new set on the vortex classifieds for $60 shipped. Keep an eye on the forums too...Here/vortex/AW

I personally like the rubber ones - here they are fresh out of the box in my Audi. Smell is not bad at all - you could tell that they were there when I first installed 'em, but that was gone in about 3/4 days.

Thanks for the pics are opinions. I think I am sold on the rubber ones. ^^^Those pics are perfect because my interior is exactly the same (except I have a manual).

Avoid the Hexomat ones:

Terrible smell that has lasted over a year so far. Just ordered a set of WeatherTech mats. Use them in other cars, very nice product.
