The Weathertech mats are the best...and the most expensive. I like them because you can pretty much dump an entire cup of coffee onto one and it stays contained in the mat. Same concept with boots full of salty slush. Front and back "floor liner" runs $169 on their website.

Best,

I purchased a set of four brand new OEM Sorento floormats off member 'cobra259' on here! I believe he works at a Kia Dealership and he gives us members awesome pricing!

They were only $60 and were truly OEM. They also say Sorento on them. So if you're going for that 'factory' look, then these are great!

Will post some pic if you want.

yes, I had a set of those OEM on my Rondo, they were good and heavy, but the main problem I found was there was no coverage for the dead pedal and I had to cut a piece of spare carpet to fill that area and over lap the mat a bit so that when your foot was on there and covered in snow and slush it didn't run behind the mat as it melted.
Also, even with the deep ribs I found at time it wasn't enough to hold all the water that accumulated from snow on your boots, so had to make sure they were fairly clean before getting into the car.

I have these for my Soul, but unfortunately this company has not yet made a set for the Sorento, They work very well and hold lots of water without going over the edge, also easy to clean even with lots of salt build-up. Like the fact they look similar to the carpet so they look good all year round.

It's worth the extra money for the Weathertech matts. Much better coverage and you just hose them off to clean them.
