The Aries ones look great, but I'm having doubts about their durability. Frankly, I'm wishing I'd shelled out more bucks and got the weatherTechs.

Interesting. My back carpets are still in good shape, so I just bought the front two. Again, I'm not sure if there's a difference between the Aries model you got and what I have. The 3D Maxpider Kagu mats I got boast a triple layer design of non-stick on the bottom, padding in the center and then weather proof upper. So far, they're holding up great.

I would have liked to go with Weathertech because I really like the company (my window visors are Weathertech), but it wasn't a cost thing for me, it was a design thing. In your van, or in a truck, I'm sure they look great. In a small passenger car, not so much. Just my opinion, but I think they're too utilitarian looking. Something you'd put in a work truck. The 3D's are a lot nicer looking for a passenger car.
