If you don't use your Porsche in the winter (or where there is a lot of snow) I would recommend the first ones (all-weather mats) hands down, I use them in my 997.2.

Suggestion

The Husky liners I bought (to replace the WT) for the 300 aren't quite as long and don't extend under the seat, but have a taller rear ridge to contain the liquid and have a higher dead-pedal cover.

Suggestion

The cheaper ones are high quality flat mats with deep grooves to retain what you track in but obviously, if you track in enough snow it can over run the edges.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need some good footwell liners for my 997.1 Turbo. Weathertech has two versions, one for about $70 and one for $180. Anyone use either of these? THanks $70 versions W57 $170 versions

POST 2Original post

If you drive it in the winter you want the expensive ones. If not go with the cheaper ones. Snow melt will be contained with the good ones. I've had them in my 2003 Tacoma since new and the carpet underneath still looks new.

POST 3Original post

Quotes source post: 9516334

The expensive ones are molded to come up the center console or door sill and are not flat. They are a shallow bucket to contain the dirt and water. The cheaper ones are high quality flat mats with deep grooves to retain what you track in but obviously, if you track in enough snow it can over run the edges. I have the mats in my SUV and am pretty satisfied. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

POST 4Original post

The more expensive ones are very slippery. We have them in our DDs. I have the less expensive set in the 996 they work fine except for with one pair of hiking boots that have a sharp edge on the back of the heel. The heel catches on the ribs. I don't usually use them for driving.

POST 5Original post

I own both mats for a number of cars. I LOVE the all-weather mats (the $70 ones in your post). They are very high-quality mat made of a heavy rubber. I typically use these in my cars in the spring and late fall, when there is a lot of rain and my shoes may get a little muddy (I prefer carpets in the summer). I have more mixed feelings about the floor liners. The Weathertechs were one of the first on the market, and it was in my view a revolutionary product for those of us in a winter climate. As the previous replies said, they are designed to hold more water in and go partially up the tunnel; but they are slippery, cheap-feeling, and typically have a major design defect or two - (1) they always only go half-way up the dead pedal, so your left shoe dumps all the snow BEHIND the mat, and (2) in an effort to be able to slide the seat over it, many of the mats have too-shallow a back ridge on them, so rather than containing any melt they channel it under the seat as soon as you accelerate. This problem does vary from car to car, but both the liners for my Cadillac CTS and my Chrysler 300 have the same issues. The Husky liners I bought (to replace the WT) for the 300 aren't quite as long and don't extend under the seat, but have a taller rear ridge to contain the liquid and have a higher dead-pedal cover. If you don't use your Porsche in the winter (or where there is a lot of snow) I would recommend the first ones (all-weather mats) hands down, I use them in my 997.2.
