I'm happy with the Weather Techs I got for my Prius so far -- only had them a couple months.

My previous vehicle was an F250 that I ordered with rubber mats instead of carpet. (Carpet was standard, but I got the rubber mats and, iirc, it actually subtracted from the price of the truck.) I really liked them, especially for the truck, because there's no "pan" in a truck. I had a little whisk broom that I carried in the door, and when mud, etc. got tracked in, I simply brushed it out. I'd wash the floor boards a couple times a year -- just dump some water on and scrub or wash it with the garden hose. I ordered my first new truck that way too, a 1968 Chevy 1/2-ton.

WeatherTech or Husky ... get the digital fit ones, not the plain mats.

Expensive, but worth it. They fit your car exactly.

I like the OEM Carpet mats, but buy online and not from the dealer (unless you can get them to throw the mats in on the deal).

In terms of a trunk/ cargo liner, I also like the OEM mats (or at least ones that are rubber, so that stuff doesn't keep flying around back there, like with plastic liners).

Did you hook them in? Once hooked they should be pretty anchored.

OEM rubber mats can be good or bad. Make sure you get a good look at them first. I have been happy with WeatherTech, though the slip-on-post (vs true hook) set-up in our Audi does not hold them in place very well.

WeatherTech is good, but it doesn't compare at all to the great rubber floor mat that came from the factory for my Audi A4. Now that is way better than WeatherTech. I had WeatherTech in my Jeep. Great fit, but just thinner and more plastic like than good rubber. Factory is usually the best if you have a good European car. Maybe even American cars have good ones, but not sure.

Oh sorry, I meant ad, like advertising. My English is pretty good but not 100% yet. I'm working on it.
