Smile New owner of a CPO E350

Hi All

I just recently purchased a CPO E350 1 week. Love the car and everything.

Bought it with 22150 miles $35k with premium package 1.

I wanted to know you guys thought on what kind of mats to purchase.

Weather-tech or OEM. Below are both links.

Amazon Weather-tech

I have tried both. the OEM's fit much better (not just in this car but in many different vehicles). Price wise, OEM is similar to Weather tech. I'd say go for OEM.

Buy the 3dmaxpider matts they fit like a glove compared to weathertech. Weatehtech does not cover everything but the maxpider ones do and they look nicer

I totally agree!! I had the WeatherTechs, the fit wasn't all that great. I tried the Maxpider on a recomandation from someone on here and am not looking back.

[QUOTE=ajaynsx;6537655]Hi All

I just recently purchased a CPO E350 1 week. Love the car and everything.

Bought it with 22150 miles $35k with premium package 1.

What year?
I just got a 2011 with 43k cpo for 3 yrs
So far this is great. I hope to have better luck than I did with the AMG. I could no go 3k miles on the amg w/o something breaking

Tot my first long drive in the 350. Did 450 and trip computer said I'd averaged 29.2 mpg at 65 mph the whole way. That's the best mpg I have ever gotten on any car I have ever owned. Course they were all 8 cylinder cars and this is my first six

Congratulations on your new car. I have OEM mats. As far as I know both OEM and weathertech mats are great for front foot wells. Both are small and appear inadequate for rear foot area primarily to accommodate the floor mounted air vents and also do not cover the center transmission hump. Between OEM and weathertech, there isn't much difference as both are good quality and weather tech itself is OEM for several cars. Go with what design you like or what offer you get better.
I don't know much about Maxspider. Those who have used it, can you guys tell how the rear mats are please? Do they offer better coverage there? How about the center hump and what is done about the floor air vents. Thanks.

Amazon reviews seem to complain about shoes slipping especially when its raining. Could be a real PITA since I live in Seattle where it rains quite a bit. Shame, I really like how they look.
