My 1999 Saturn SL1 blew a head gasket and has a dying fuel pump, so Maria and I did some quick car shopping and ended up choosing something fuel efficient and (hopefully) reliable, a Honda Fit. I like it, and I didn’t take very good car of the interior of my Saturn, so I want to do a better job this time.
I looked at winter carmats to try to hold off the assault of the salt (hah, I rhymed) in the winter. Hey, it’s Canada. The Fit is such an odd fit (no pun intended) that that finding something generic is hard, and custom mats from Honda or Weathertech are quite expensive. I almost went the Weathertech route, but in the end I picked up a $30 Stanley mat that is designed to be cut down to fit the space.
I think it ended up pretty close, and given the cost savings I’m pretty happy with it.
I could protect the right side better, that was a trouble spot on the Saturn. Still, it’s nice to not pay some ridiculous price because I chose a smaller vehicle that needs something less generic.
