Let me tell you about these Subaru OEM all-weather mats - they're like that reliable friend who shows up exactly when needed, but maybe doesn't bring quite enough snacks for the price you paid.
The fit is absolutely perfect - no surprise since they're made specifically for 2000-2004 Legacy Outback and 2003-2006 Baja models. I installed them in my '03 Baja and they clicked into place like they were born there. The deep grooves actually caught all the mud from my hiking trips without a single spill.
Here's where I'm torn though - while they look spectacular (that subtle Subaru logo is classy), the material feels thinner than I expected for $70 mats. They're slightly slippery when wet too - had my coffee cup slide around once after getting in with snowy boots.
The durability seems decent so far after 3 months of abuse from my outdoor lifestyle, but time will tell if they hold up as well as some aftermarket options. They definitely beat generic mats, but make you wonder if that OEM premium is fully justified.
Bottom line? If you want perfect fit and don't mind paying extra for genuine Subaru parts, these will serve you well. But if budget matters more than brand loyalty, there might be thicker alternatives out there.
