We have tested 2 weather mats for the Mazda CX-5. Neither of these mats are OEM, as we don’t believe in paying the extra dealer fee for plastic.
We compared a well known weather mat brand with a popular not so well known brand. The results were very promising, especially if you want a quality product while keeping your wallet happy.
Floor Mat #1 – WeatherTech Custom Fit Floor Liner
These are brand named weather mats that have excellent reviews. Also keep in mind that this brand makes floor liners for other vehicles as well.
Pros:
- Well known brand
- Made in the USA
- ISO certified quality program
- Multiple colors to choose from to match your car interior or exterior
Cons:
- Expensive
- WeatherTech mats usually all have similar looks
For the price to quality ratio, there isn’t much competition for these mats.
Floor Mat #2 – YITAMOTOR Floor Mats
These are almost half the price of the weathertech and from experience, they are just as good. While they aren’t brand name by any means, they do have over 85% 5 star ratings on Amazon.
These mats operate just as good as the WeatherTech brand while also giving your wallet some breathing room.
Pros:
- Cheaper (half the price of well known competitor
- Excellent reviews on Amazon
- Well manufactured and high quality
Cons:
- Not made in USA like it’s competitor
- Certain mats may not be a snug fit and make require replacement from Amazon
If you have money to spurge and like using brand name and widely used products then go with the WeatherTech. However, if you want to save a few bucks while also get a high quality product then try out the Yitamotor floor mats. They come with free return and replacements within 30 days, what do you have to lose?
