I have a set, but I prefer carpet. It just has a better feel on your feet. Rubber just doesn't feel comfortable.

Am I the only one who thinks rubber floormats are ghey??

I just use this thing called a vacuum every once in a while.? It seems to do the job nicely.

You are in Florida, we have other weather issues to deal with here in the Northeast. Stains from the dirty slush we have to walk through in the winter won't vacuum out.

I have the gray BMW rubber mats. My original intent was just to keep them in during the winter, but I've gotten used to them and I kind of like them. When its time to sell I'll put the clean carpet mats in and prospective buyers will be impressed with how well the car has been maintained.

I got them for the first time last year and they are great. I'll never use carpeted mats again. It's amazing how much dirt these rubber mats collect....they'll hold a quart of water from wet shoes..and they're WAY easier to clean than carpet mats...just pull them out and shake them off. A little scrub every other car wash or so. Carpet floor mats still have a ton of dirt in them after vacuuming. I think they're great year round....rain or shine.
