I just picked up my new GV70 last week and Im totally in love with it, seriously best car Ive ever driven! Im so excited but now Im kind of panicking because I live in Seattle and the rain has already started messing up the carpets. I honestly dont know anything about car accessories so sorry if this is a total newbie question, but what mats should I be looking for? I dont want to spend a fortune since I already dropped a lot on the car, maybe like 200 bucks or so? I just need something that keeps the mud and water off the floor and wont slide around while Im driving. I keep seeing brands like WeatherTech and TuxMat mentioned online but I have no idea if those are actually good or just hyped up.
Im really worried about getting the wrong size and having them bunch up under the pedals which sounds super dangerous. Does anyone have a set they actually like in their GV70? Any tips would be amazing...
> I dont want to spend a fortune since I already dropped a lot on the car Totally get that. I went down this rabbit hole a couple years ago. To add to the point above: don't stress about dealership stuff, it's usually just marked-up factory branding. If you want something that feels more premium than pure plastic but holds up to Seattle rain, check out 3D MAXpider Kagu Custom Fit Floor Mats. They have this carbon fiber-ish texture that looks surprisingly classy, not like a work truck interior. Installation is seriously a breeze, just snap them into the factory clips and you're good. They're way lighter than those heavy rubber trays. I've also messed around with Husky Liners WeatherBeater Series Floor Mats in my other car, and they're basically indestructible. If you're worried about mud, the higher sides on the Husky ones are a life saver. My biggest tip: whatever you get, just make sure they have those little nibs on the back or the proper retention clips. Seriously, don't mess around with generic trim-to-fit stuff from an auto store, it's just not worth the risk of them sliding near your gas pedal. Stick to the laser-scanned ones for the GV70 and you really can't go wrong. They fit like a glove and save you from having to shampoo your carpets every month. Hope this helps you get that interior sorted!
Congrats on the new ride. Honestly, skip the dealership mats, they are way overpriced and usually dont cover enough surface area. I went with the TuxMat Genesis GV70 Custom Floor Mats and they fit perfectly. They dont look cheap at all since the material has a nice texture to it. Installation is super easy too, just takes a few clips. They feel very secure and havent moved an inch under my feet.
> skip the dealership mats, they are way overpriced Totally agree. I prefer WeatherTech FloorLiner 4415891 Front And Rear Set because the laser-fit keeps them totally locked in place.
Ugh, the rain in Seattle is honestly the worst for car interiors. Just saw this thread and honestly, I feel your pain. I tried the 3D MAXpider Kagu Custom Fit Floor Mats thinking theyd be the dream, but honestly? They started curling at the edges after just a few months and the fit wasnt as tight as I was hoping. It drives me crazy when they shift even a tiny bit, especially near the pedals. Safety is everything, right? I dont trust them anymore. Honestly, skip anything that feels like thin plastic. Ive had such bad luck with stuff bunching up that I just gave up on those. If you really want peace of mind, maybe look at Husky Liners WeatherBeater Series Floor Mats instead. They feel a bit more rigid, which I prefer for the mud. Dont settle for the dealer junk, just keep searching until you find something that actually locks in.
