hmmm?

 

pretty random but mines on carpet all the time. i love that heel coverage that they added.

 

always on carpet. cause they look alot better imo.

 

I have the old mats, before they added the heel coverage. I've never taken the carpet out.
I have a drk gry heather t-shirt that I place over the driver's mat. That has helped with durabilty of the mat.

 

mine doesnt have the carpet on... to much of a hassle to vaccume, so i hose it down

 

I use rubber mode cause Ive been lazy to change over since the rain season.

Carpet would be pretty nice, id assume

 

i use rubber on the drivers side, so its easier to clean, and the carpet for the passenger side, because i rarely have guests, so that side keeps clean

 

Mine have been on rubber for about six months and I'm too lazy to switch them back...I know as soon as I do it will rain again.

 

they have heel coverage now? damn, i have the old ones which have a bad bald spot, lol.

 

I have them, but didn't vote in the poll because I never use them. They were taken out immediately and placed in storage, so that they're perfect for when I sell the car, in 3 years or so.

I bought a small piece of grey indoor/outdoor carpent from Home Depot for next to nothing and cut some custom size 'mats' to protect the car's carpet.

I didn't want to buy the mats in the first place, since they're not worth the cost, but the dealer refused to remove anything I didn't want that they'd already put in, including the mats.

 

Mine are on carpet all the time... except when im travelling to shows. Then i take the carpet out and lay it in the back seat and reinstall @ the show.

 

When did Scion change the floor mats to include the heel protector or whatever that was mentioned earlier?

Mine are without carpet since the day the car came home.

Easier to keep clean, etc.

I believe it was with the 2nd year release

 

If your shoes are muddy, you are NOT setting foot into my baby

 

Well it rains a *lot* here in Portland so I just leave the rubber ones in.. there's no way to avoid wetness/mud. Summer is pretty dry, but not really worth risking it- the saying about oregon weather is "just wait a minute'

 

i removed the carpet from the rubber once, looked ugly, never again will i do that!!

 

Rubber in the winter and carpet in the summer

 

Scions whole selling point is letting the customer customize. I ratted on a dealership to the corperate office when they tried to pull something similar. The dealers called me back in a couple of days, with surprising news.

 

I don't know why the dealer decided to operate that way, but I guess they don't get flack from Scion because I could have ordered a car w/o the mats, but then would have had to wait (time=?) or pay more for them to obtain a car w/o them from another dealer (as they seem to charge people for the cost of moving the car, plus they might have someone drive it, which sux in several ways).

Obviously not a big deal to me or I wouldn't have got the car, but the dealer really should reconsider their policies. It's understandable for items that are an effort to install, but if a customer doesn't want the floormats there shouldn't be any excuse for not removing them and taking off the $184 charge (? or whatever it was) from the itemized sticker.

I agree with what you're implying. If a person has time and doesn't mind a little effort, it's often worthwhile when you're able to resolve the situation like you did.

 

well i got the originals..no heel pad..but mine ar eon carpet for passenger and rubber for me but at shows put river on carpet...
