It helps and according to WeatherTech, I'll get Thousands more on my trade-in. LOL
I have it on my Q3P and comparing it to my CivicX and GTI-P which comes l with standard dealership all weather mats it makes a huge difference but then again I have no problems cleaning/detailing. Hence why I don't feel like dropping $200+ on a set.
User posted Tuxmat on Vortex and looks so much better than WeatherTech, I believe a bit cheaper too. We'll see...

I kinda hate the floor liners, but I love the rubber mats. In every car I have tried to use the floor liners they have moved enough that they eventually stop fittings flush against the sides and then they act as a funnel to channel everything down between them and the carpet. On my Mirage the drivers side one actually stops halfway up the "dead pedal" spot to the left of the clutch and acts like a shoe cleaner scraping whatever is on the bottom of the shoe right underneath it. The passenger's side one also knocks the ac drain hose off if it moves at all, which then lets the condensation drain on to the carpet under the mat.
Their rubber mats are great, but they usually don't have provisions for fastening down the passenger's side one and my wife will eventually get it shoved up under the dash. Due to their design the only way to fasten it down is to put a hole in it and take away a lot of their advantage.
I yell at my wife all the time to pay more attention and quit moving the floor mats around but it would have made a lot more sense to just build in some way to keep them in place.
