Yea man, if you are getting rubber all season mats there is really no other option that comes close as far as fit/finish, function, and quality. They are a few $ but you will never have to vacuum or buy new mats as long as you own the car.

Try searching around for the best price, I remember mine were just under $100 shipped but I can't seem to find where I ordered from...

I say the fit is 95% because I'm a picky pr!ck. There are a few points of contact that will eventually cause some wear. The mats rub on the front side of the seat brackets on both sides (and will eventually rub the paint off), as well as the little piece of plastic trim that surrounds the fuel door release. I took care of this possibility by covering the effected areas with a strip of black electrical tape to prevent direct contact. Like I said, I'm picky. Most people wouldn't notice or even care. Overall they are a great product, and to fix this would require giving up some coverage, so in the end, I think WeatherTech made the best compromise.

Did you get the ones that I posted a link to? Or did another version fit 95%? Thanks for the detailed reply!

I have WeatherTech mats and they are 100% worth the investment. I use my car as a daily driver so the carpet was always dirty. I purchased them just in time because a few days after I put them in my car my buddy got in with the muddiest boots ever. He was like."oh sorry, I should've cleaned off my boots before getting in your new car." But it wasn't a problem because I was just able to rinse off the mud in a few minutes. Do yourself and your car a favor and purchase these.

u wot m8?

They are 99.9% perfect fit. They make contact with the entire "circumference" of the footwell. If you think that is a poor or less than 100% fitment than so be it, but for me and the most everyone else it is perfect.

Well its my first Subaru had a vw before this the build quality on the vw is a little more plush and solid. I guess because German. But I love my car no butt hurt. Bmw carpet is nice.

Yes. The same ones. I didn't mean for my post to sound like a complaint...it wasn't. They're a great product, and I doubt there's anything better on the market. I was just pointing out a couple of (very) minor issues and what can be done to remedy them if it was of any concern to anyone reading.

Like I said above, I'm picky. Most people wouldn't notice, or even care if they did. I'm not disputing the coverage, just pointing out a couple of areas that could lead to some wear, and a suggestion on what to do if it bothers any other picky people like me. It was not meant to be a complaint...I have no regrets going with the WeatherTech mats.
