Titanic1985 Champion Author South Carolina Posts:6,276 Points:359,315 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: May 3, 2013 12:37:02 PM Ignore Titanic1985 Report Abuse Hi contiki, As you've probably read, I've purchased two vehicles in the past month. The Mazda dealer provided a generic set for my wife's 2011 Toyota Matrix, but they didn't anchor to the floor and crept up to the gas pedal (e.g. memories of runaway Toyota's). I just received a full set ordered on line which are custom made in the USA. They do have the nylon anchors for the driver's side and are really nice. They are carpeted. I also ordered another set for my 2010 Ford Ranger XL which has a rubber mat, no carpeting. They fit perfectly. They also are 46 oz carpeted. These floor mats are about 50% cheaper than the dealer's price and are sold without shipping charges. Great deals. I do have a portable steam vacuum and bring them in the house every so often to clean them so they always look and smell new. Take care :-). MGY [Edited by: Titanic1985 at 5/3/2013 12:41:06 PM EST]

Carpet holds dirt and debris much more readily and is therefore more difficult to clean. I prefer function over style when it comes to a floor mat.
