weather tech .ca now has a Canadian site for floor mats, I went to Crappy tire and got 4 mats for 39 bucks rubber maid wide and fit ok. But for the winter they protect my carpet.

 

I got the OEM ones at the beginning of winter and think they look great. There's a big white "A3" written on them (the front ones) that looks pretty cool. I clean my car often as I have a garage so dirt was never an issue.

I would be curious to see what the Weathertechs look like in the A3. I bet they cover more area than the OEM thus providing better protection. A collegue at work got them for his Acura TL and is very satisfied. I think they're a bit more expensive than the OEM.

 

Yeah I ended up doing exactly that... Got the Audi A3 OEM ones while I was in getting an oil change.

 

the OEM ones look good, but I doubt they are deep enough for Canadian winters ... it seems like snow / water will easily overflow from the mat on to the carpet.
