Audi A3 Euro Rubber Floor Mats

Got my mats.

Some sort of all-weather mats are an absolute necessity. Carpet mats are magnets for grit, salt stains, etc., and cant be hosed off and put back in right away. I looked at all the options:
  • Hexomat, like my cargo liner
  • WeatherTech (had them in a previous car, liked them a lot)
  • Audi Monster mats, which are similar to the WeatherTech design but have A3 printed on them
  • Audi Euro Rubber mats
WeatherTech mats were not available for the A3 at the time. The Monster mats were too gaudy for me with the A3 logo. I like the Hexomats a lot. All of these choices had the same problem - they didnt reach far enough up under the drivers pedals, and didnt cover the wheel well on the passenger side. The Euro Rubber mats were the perfect solution in that regard, since they fully cover the passenger wheel well hump. They dont reach as far up under the pedals on the drivers side as I would like, but nothing else does either. Also, the Euro style mats had the fastening system to snap into place that the Hexomats did not.

I ordered them from AutoWebAccessories, which sells genuine accessories at a discount. They were backordered nationwide, but I got mine as soon as they were available in the country. They work great, and I highly recommend them.

One problem was that the snaps were so tight that they could have ripped the fastener out of the carpet. Scraping the inside of the snap on the mat with a knife made them snap on well, but not insanely tight. They give the interior a neat, sporty look. In the photos below they look like they contrast a lot with the carpet, but thats mostly due to the camera flash. In reality, the black mats are very subtle against the black carpet:
