I'm like SVreX... I bought them the day i purchased my work van. 165,000 miles later still going strong. Years ago I talked to MacNeil about making the van ones have lips to go up around the doghouse, etc. No luck. I guess the van market is not big on their radar.
We have them in the wife's CRV. Really nice at Smuggs in the winter of '19, even better at Steamboat this year. 
Regarding the earlier comment about seeing such mats in a car you're looking at buying, these arent Weathertech (we cut them out of some material we scrounged) but i do think these mats and the pics of the nice factory mats and spotless carpet underneath helped me sell my mom's old Integra for tip top dollar.

Rear/hatch mat? Excellent.
Rear floor mats? Excellent.
Front floor mats? Seem to not really tuck in and settle down around the edges as nice as i would like. Hard to tell if the edge is supposed to go over the factory door sill like the tundra pic above (but it's not as big of an overlap), or maybe slightly tuck under it? The interface is weird. I'll probably use the front pair for winter only, and maybe they will settle in after some time in the car.
Window Shades/Vents? Great clean design, but they create more resistance than the auto-up window feature is OK with, so it kicks back to halfway down. Need to look into this more because I LOVE the auto-up and use it often, can't justify disabling that for some vent shades.

When I bought a newer truck I wound up buying Husky X-Act Contour mats, mainly because there was an in-stock rear mat for my crew cab that extended all the way under the rear seat. Really like the Husky as well, and they seem to be slightly more rubberier than the WeatherTech, which helps them to fit a bit better.
I agree with both of you here. My Tahoe has a set of the weathertech liners. The rear two are amazing. The fronts have gaps where they interface with the kick panels. Weathertech support initially told me to leave them in the sun for the afternoon, which I did (this was ~3 years ago), but they didn't relax much at all. Oh well, they stay put and protect the carpet from beach sand, pollen-y feet and kiddo muddy shoes, so they're a win in my book.
We have Weathertechs in the Expedition and Huskys in the Fusion. For whatever reason, Weathertech's design for the Fusion doesn't cover as much area as the Husky does. Generally I like Weathertech better, but in this case I went the other way.
I have the generic version I got off Amazon for 2 of our cars. They aren't as thick and heavy duty as the Weathertechs but they are about $80 cheaper. Maxliner is the brand and fitment is very good
I am typically annoyed by driver mats. The F0RS I'm picking up next week has weathertechs included. Interested to see if I can live with the driver mat. Cool to have them everywhere else regardless.
If you just leave a car in the sun in the summer here the interior will eventually reach 135-140 degrees, but i would also consider trying a heat lamp if you're trying to get the the mats to relax onto the floorboard.
I made the investment for my recently purchased Dodge Grand Caravan that will be kid-infested and they have been great.
In reply to Vigo (Forum Supporter) :
When selling my 155,000 mile 5-speed Accord LX I detailed it and put in a brand new set of WT mats AND I bought new clutch/brake pad covers.
A $75 investment as I believe perception goes a long way when selling used cars in your driveway.
Does anyone have recommendations for floormats that don't go way up the sides/behind the pedals/etc? I'm looking for a robust floormat (to resist my shoes wearing through it) that is the same dimensions as my factory floormat. All the weathertech options seem to be gigantic.
I have them in the kid mobile. The great thing about buying them for one subaru CUV is that they'll likely fit almost every other Subaru out there. We bought them in 2014 for a new Forester and they've been in that, a 2016 FXT, and now a 2019 Crosstrek. They are great at containing the kids messiness.
Unfortunately they don't make products for all of my vehicles. Like literally anything I drive they don't have. Luckily when I bought my Sequoia the previous owner had install some Husky mats in it when he first bought it in 2001. The carpets still look factory fresh under everything. 20 year old rubber mats that have taken a beating and keep all the mud and dirt off the carpet.
It also leads to a great question. Why is carpet a standard in a car? What's the benefit? Can't we get sound deadening and insulation under a rubber/vinyl surface that's infinitely easier to clean?

Make some yourself. There are none out there that I know of.

Why do houses have carpet?
