Official Review: WeatherTech Digital Fit All-Weather Floor Mats

[FatKidsCruze]

Well I said I would review these after a few weeks. The reason I labelled this "Official" is I would like to have anyone wishing to review this product to post their review here so we can have a collection of reviews all in one thread. Just an idea and if it works we could make similar threads for other aftermarket products for our cars i.e. intakes, tunes, radios etc.

Anyway on to the review!

Disclaimer: I have not tried any other all weather mats so I am not comparing this to any other product or stating it is the best. Just simply giving my impressions on the product and how I like it.

Product: WeatherTech Automotive Accessories - FloorLiner? DigitalFit ® - 2012 Chevrolet Cruze - WeatherTech FloorLiner - car floor mats liner, floor tray protects and lines the floor of truck and SUV carpeting from mud, snow, water and dirt

Reason for Purchase: I bought all weather mats anticipating wet times in the year especially winter with snow, salt sand and other chemicals. Mainly to preserve the carpet and reserve the OEM carpet floor mats for summertime use.

Pros: Excellent quality
Factory fit
Protect carpet
Easy to clean

Cons: Factory clips do not snap in
Price near $200 after shipping
Custom made product so delivery takes longer (Almost 2 weeks)

Initial impression after removing them from the box is the finish and quality. These floor mats seemed very durable and of quality made materials, and the black finish matches almost perfectly with the stock black interior. The fitment looks and feels top notch, I will note that the rear piece was a little mishapen in the corners, due to shipment; After installed for some time this piece settles and forms better to the curves and corners.

Overall: I am please with these floor mats. The price as usual reflects the quality of the product. I've had them installed for a little over 2 weeks. They hold dust and dirt really well as advertised, as well as water, here in VA it's been raining almost everyday lately. They are very easy to remove and can be cleaned easily when washing the car with soap and water. While overall I am pleased there are some gripes. The price is really high, but I paid it because I have never been let down by WeatherTech products and it's an investment in keeping the value of my vehicle up along with personal satisfaction of a clean interior. Next complaint would be that the mats do not 'snap' in as the factory pieces. Instead there are molded cavities which just rest over the pins in the floor, which results in a little bit of freeplay but NOT enough to cause concern for a hazard.

Hope you enjoy the review!

Those look real nice. I might pick up some just for the front. I hate how the carpet mats get once it starts snowing. All that slush and stuff gets on them also the salt which turns them white. I think I might have to pick up a set. I never have people in the back seat of my car so I can wait on those.

Thanks for the review. These will be my next investment once I get some money. I bought some cheap all weather mats but the drivers side slides around a lot. I've been wanting weathertechs for a while but like you said, the price is killer. (worth it tho it seems) you get what you pay for I guess.

You all are welcome! I am going to try this with all my mods, because I find it hard to find hands on detailed reviews.

I ordered a front set of mats. Like I said 99% of the time I don't have passengers if I do it's my fiancee so I'll hold out on the rear ones.

Nice reveiw. I also bought the Weather Tech mats for the front on my Cruze back in May and I am very pleased with them. I have had Weather Tech mats for 6 years in my Tacoma.

Got a set of the front mats for christmas, and I love them. No more need for a vacum to clean the mats lol.

well on the plus side I ordered yesterday.. they shipped today and it says i should have em tomorrow. I just used standard shipping.

I will say though, the only thing I don't like about the mats is that my shoe wont fit flush with the side of the car on the foot rest anymore, and that the heel of my right foot can slide around sometimes, instead of being secure in the carpet.

One of the main reasons why I got them actually, is so I don't ruin my carpet mats by digging a hole into them with my heel (happened to my old car)
