Default All weather floor mat question

what is the most popular choice for good all weather mats? any good sites to buy from?
Are floor liners (like weather tech) better or just some all weather type mats?
Thanks,

The Audi all weather mat are awesome. I was going to use them for the winter but loved them so much that I have them in all year round. They are thick and lock into the original holders. The are also very deep so water doesn't leave the mats.

Seconded.

I have my titanium edged premium mats in the car, but keep my all-weather mats handy for rainy or dirty situations, so I don't destroy my nice ones. They are the perfect fit and look the part. Even have the Q5 logo.

Never understood why some buy a car like an Audi, then look for the cheapest alternative products to put in it. Just my 0.02.

The Audi mats are the way to go.

Thanks,
I bought a set of AUDI rubber mats when I took delivery of my Q5. They are very nice. When they started to show a little wear and tear I decided to try a set of the WeatherTech Liners. They are just as nice although a little different. WeatherTech's are thinner and a little stiffer but they fit very well into the footwell and use the Audi fastening points.
If I were to do it all ovr again, I'd pass on the OEM and just get the WeatherTech.
However, either one would be a good choice, IMO.

Very nice. I tried to squeeze the dealer for the rubber mats and they pretty much told me to go take a walk.

I bought the weathertech liners and I am very satisfied with them.
