These are the Porsche rubber mats:



Available from Suncoast or Sunset.

I agree with Minok, they do not hold as much water and debris as the Weathertech but they surely look good and they have the factory velcro attachment. I think that the Weathertech do not have the velcro attachment (I could be wrong).

The Weathertech "digital" look the most substantial - very custom fit too, and reflected in the price. I do wonder if the Porsche ones go better with the car?

For my taste the Porsche rubber mats are the prettiest. I think though that the Weathertech are the practical ones.

Porsche mats fit my '07 with Bose perfectly and work fine. I wasn't aware that the Weathertech mats fit the Bose but in any case I prefer the look of the Porsche mats.

What I do, for all my cars is the following and it works perfectly. I go buy exterior carpet that is sold for outdoor use in a home. I cut to a larger shape than stock mats to protect the sides. Then I just use OEM winter mats on top of it. So the OEM winter mats will take the winter abuse and whatever spills over on the sides gets picked up by the "custom carpet"...

I purchased my car’s rubber floor mats from Suncoast. The mats perform very well in rainy conditions, including torrential downpours, and look fantastic in the car. Perfect fit, complete with the Velcro fasteners, just like the OEM carpet floor mats. Well worth the price, as they have kept my car’s interior spotless over the past few weeks of heavy downpours in the southeastern US. Hope this helps...

If you go to the Porsche Canada website (www.Porsche.com/canada/en) there is a picture of a Cayenne and a 'Winter sports' web special button which takes you to 'Driver's Selection' and a brochure you can view/download which has a picture of them and other winter gear.

I'm on my 4th winter with the Weathertech and love them! My carpets are spotless.


I thought I was the only one winter driving my car nice to see i'm not alone!
