I will gather that the warm weather people in California and Florida can just use the standard floor mats that came with the vehicle. But for us in the northern part of the continent who get snow, slush and the more dreaded salt dumping know that your carpets will be shot after one year
What is the best option that those who have tried what is out there for the Niro??
I have used Weathertech for my last Ford Edge, but found the one drawback to them is they really do a great job of catching all the slush and snow that will melt on the mat so you are left with a pool under your feet that just collects and collets growing deeper and deeper. By mid-winter I had a good 1/2" of semi-salty ice that would partially freeze overnight then thaw when the car warmed up. You couldn't pull the mat out of the car without spilling it everywhere because the no-slip pin pockets on the floor make pulling the mat out hard. The only way I figured to get the water out was either a full roll of paper towels or some sort of throwaway rag to absorb the mess.
What other makers are there that do a good job of protecting the floors/carpet in and around the front/rear seats? and how do you deal with the melted crap that accumulates over the winter?
