Is this a good deal for a Civic?

The cheapest way, of course, is to just pay $20 or $30 at Walmart, Target, or an auto-parts store......but, of course, you get what you pay for. Those $20-30 mats are basically generic-shaped, aren't custom-fitted, and don't cover the edges of the floor-wells, which can get soiled and dirty.

Only reason I bought OEM mats for my LS is they didn't have the weathertech mats for my car with the right lock, only the liners.
Going to Walmart and buying some poorly fitting crappy one size fits all mat for a nice new car is a real shame IMHO.

Crying over all seasons floor mats or a trunk mat is so trivial and silly. Sounds like the OP has never bought a car before.
My Corolla, and my parents 4Runner and ES350 all came with both the carpet and all season OEM rubber mat, Canadian spec Toyotas have them standard. Problem is that A) they suck and B) you technically pay for them in the grand scheme price. Nothing is for free.
Both of our Matrix and Corolla cars we bought Weathertech aftermarket rubber mats that do a far better better job that the OEM mats. My 04 4Runner has the OEM rubber mats but they don't do the best job for keeping salt off the carpet. They might even be plastic for all I know.

If you read my post, I'm saying I'm finding it odd that the HONDA CIVIC does not come with/not an option to get CARPET trunk mats, whereas my Mazda and Lexus did FROM FACTORY (although yes, it was included in the price but at least it was available).
And just FYI, my Lexus IS All-Weather mats were free soo....
In my experience Weather Tech is superior quality to most OEM mats. I dont care for the full floor liners, I prefer the mats. I only put the all weather ones in there during the winter, and the molded ones are a pain to store.

Bottom line is it's an economy car, the best one IMHO but it's still an economy car. You're not going to have all the little niceties you have in a more expensive car.

For the record. Honda USA offers a rubber trunk mat and not one but TWO different interior all season floor mats.

3 of our cars have OE trunk mats, I don't think it's that unusual. Two are rubber, and one is carpeted. The 1998 Maxima does not have a trunk mat. But it came with nice carpeted ones that are today totally worn away by my left heel since it operated the clutch for all these years. The hooks actually were integrated to the car and really kept the mats in their proper places, much better than the LS430 and BMW...

Again, none of those cars are economy cars.

True....even the Maxima could be considered a luxury car but it did lack a mat. Another thing I just thought of, the Maxima has cheap pressboard over the compact spare, that warped over the years, causing the floor of the trunk to be weak and not flat. Have a feeling that the other cars are not flimsy like that, but would have to take a closer look to verify....

Just looking at Lexus.com The LS460 does not come with all season mats, they are an accessory. And a carpet trunk mat is a $105 accessory. .
I really don't know why the OP is perturbed.
