Hi, Anyone heard this brand b4? Is it good?   :confused1:
And how about 3A?

I have used 3A car mat before. Closest match to 3M in terms of quality and durability, but at 1/2 of 3M's price.

If you put both side by side without looking at the base for the brand, it is hard to tell the difference.

Never tried the 3A so can't tell.

I have LG mats at home for my doorstep and inside the house for shoes... The door step one kena rain and all and step on every day and still ok. Had it since 2005.

The big test is the driver side seat mat with the heel plate. My 3M one has it and been using for 2 years already still no sign of wear. My friend got the free one given by SE without the heel plate, slightly over 1 year wear through already. No idea what brand that is.  The area just under the pedals is most prone to wear. Even for 3M I wouldn't buy if it comes without the heel plate.

I used to use 3M but the grip glued under the mat came off easily and the mat tends to slip.

 :ohmy:  I thought 3M is the best?

It's probably just a perception and the successful branding that 3M has through its advertising. The advertising dollar has to be passed back to the consumer at the end of the day, in the form of higher pricing.

Just like everyone persuaded me to get a Toyota or Honda and asked me not to get a Nissan as it drinks. But I don't see why I should pay a premium for an assembled-in-Thailand Toyota Altis Corolla or Honda City.

totally agree with clarence, used to have a altis...less than 6 months - suspension hit bottom, less than 2 years - back door cushion came off....told the service guy in boneo many many times didn't help, i buy elephant glue and fixed it well by myself....and I paid SGD65K for it....

Now own a one month old Latio bought at 53k, hubby own a 6month old mazda 3 bought at 58k....both good buy...dun
