Got kids so my brand new '14 Q5 TDI is fully adorned with the winter mats. Had it for 4 days now and loving every minute. Even with going through the learning curve with the MMI features. I plan to keep them in there full time.

While I've got the OEM mats it seems like the weather tech have a bigger lip which mainly helps in winter with all the snow a salt - salt being my biggest issue ive managed to get salt stains everywhere ;(

Our Q5 came with both the summer AND winter mats. Both sets are in a box as we ended up getting the Weathertec mats. After having looked at the fit of all 3 sets of mats the Weathertec mats win hands down. I was debating putting in the summer mats now that winter is over but the Weathertecs give so much better coverage overall. Even though the snow/salt is gone, the floor area could still get wet during the rainy season.

I keep the Weathertechs in year round. Sometimes I think I bring in more crap in the spring/summer/fall than I do in the winter with all the seeds, leaves, twigs, moss, old squirrel nests etc. that fall out of the trees over my driveway.

Same here. If I were to switch mats seasonally, it would be the opposite because of our dry and relatively warm winters. I really like the Audi rubber mats, even if they only say Q5, not SQ5. If anyone wants a brand-new set of grey carpet mats, let me know...you can have them. If/when these wear out, I will probably get the Weathertechs you speak of. Primarily because AlbertaBound say they fit even better. These fit perfectly, so I'd like to see a picture of the Weathertechs, how they look & fit. How much are they? More than the $330 stockers?
