Well, you get what you pay for. I have bought from WeatherTech several times and I am always happy I did. I have also bought OEM winter mats with mixed results (Mercedes-good, Audi-bad). I have never bought the Ford mats (this is my first Ford). I agree they are expensive, but if you plan to keep the car for a while what's an extra hundred dollars more than the Ford mats over 4 or 5 years? Worth it to me to keep the carpets nice and save trying to scrub out the salt stains. Its up to you what you value.

Update - The Weathertech front floor liners arrived and they fit well. Driver's side fit is not absolutely perfect at one edges, but it snapped easily into place and I think it will settle in at the edges over time. I am a bit worried about the back lip of the driver's mat interfering with the electrical cabling under the seat (presumably its for the power seat), though. When the seat moves back and forth it looks like it will drag the wiring over the lip of the mat. I will watch this for a while to see if it looks like it will wear the cable.

I don't know yet as the front liners aren't actually available as yet - they haven't arrived at the warehouse. They are available to order and will ship when they can. The cargo mat fits perfectly.

Front floor liner Part #443491 - is that what you wanted?

I ordered the (front) digital floor liners as opposed to the mats. Have been told by Weathertech they are not expected in the warehouse for 3 more weeks or so, so they put them up on the website early. This is in Canada - maybe they are avail in the US already, I don't know. I'll post when I get them and let you know about the fit. I previously ordered the rear floor liner for 2010 since they seem to be the same for 2011's and I ordered the cargo area mat for 2011 - both fit well and I'm happy with them.

Mine is also Version 2.4.

We just picked up our limited today and it has the mirror insert. VIN is less than A96000. Do you think it's possible that BLIS mirror is different? We don't have the BLIS.

Sorry, Jodes, this is not really an answer since I am in the same situation as you are. Just out of curiosity, what were you quoted for FMPP? I was quoted C$1510 for 4 years/80K. Seems expensive since my Audi Care package was $700 for 42 months. I am also trying to decide.

Just the call yesterday that ours is in. Ordered 31-Dec-10, so that would be exactly 7 weeks from order date to dealer.

Hey Wilson, that's better than having to sit on the vinyl seats all the cars had when we were little...remember how hot they got! Seriously, we also used towels when our kids were little, it left dents but they came out in time.

Hi: Not sure if US is different, but in Canada the Driver Entry Package is optional on both SEL and the Limited. I am assuming your question is not what the differences in standard equipment are, but what isn't available even as an option on the SEL. No guarantee of perfect accuracy here, but I think the items you can only get in the Limited are the memory seats, Sony radio, backup camera, garage door opener and also access to a number of options (e.g. 20" wheels, adaptive cruise, HID headlights, etc.). The trim is different on the Limited too (black interior console, wood trim on dash etc.). We went with the Limited because of the memory seats and the backup camera which were important to us. My wife and I couldn't have more different driving positions, and the rear window view isn't the greatest IMHO. Yes you can add the accessories to the roof rails later. We ordered the Earth metallic - yes we like it! Colour is a personal choice, of course. Looking forward to getting it. Hope that helps you.

Hi Jack To answer your original question, I know the Costco discount isn't fabricated because I got the dealer cost before going in to make the deal. I used Car Cost Canada, which is excellent and well worth the nominal cost. If you are in the US I am sure there is something similar available. That way you can negotiate using the dealer cost as your basis, not MSRP. So first negotiate a selling price based on dealer cost plus what you think is a fair dealer profit, then take off the Costco discount (which is after taxes BTW, at least here). Don't consider the Costco discount as something the dealer is giving you - it isn't affecting the dealer's profit since its a manufacturer-driven discount and hence is a pass-through for the delaer (someone chime in if I'm wrong on this, but I don't think so). If your dealer won't do that with you, I would go somewhere else. Hope that helps.

Hi Joe: We just placed an order last week. We just had to show the dealer our Costco membership card.
