Boot liner or tidy?

[Aitcho]

I am thinking of buying either a Honda boot liner or possibly a boot tidy to use with my 2012 Jazz 1.4 EX CVT in order to keep the carpeted boot area clean and free of possible liquid spillages especially when doing the weekly supermarket shop.

If anyone uses a boot liner would be interested to hear of any drawbacks when using one.

Due to the onset of Winter I decided to replace my carpet mats with some genuine Honda rubber mats which are more functional when passengers are wearing wet or muddy shoes.

I have only covered just over 600-miles but have found the CVT automatic system to be far better than the 4-speed automatic system used in my previous car,  I am really enjoying driving the Jazz.

I bought the genuine Honda boot mat. A bit pricey but it stops things sliding around and is shaped like a tray, with a lip all round the edge to contain any spillage, liquid or otherwise.

I have a couple of storage boxes, approx 18 x 12 x 12 inches that I fill with my books cd roms, spare light bulbs, L plates etc. Then if I need to empty the boot I have 3 things to remove, 2 boxes and a spare wheel.

I use a cardboard box -free.

I keep an empty wine box in the boot in the happy hope that someone will give me a bottle.

Plenty of empties here inc  Brandy Champagne etc

I got the dealer to throw one in as part of the deal, we need it as we have a dog.
They do save the carpet no end only drawback would be the need to lift it up if you want to gain access to the spare wheel area or use to clever boot.
I think they are about £80

Got mine for £66 delivered off eBay. Vendor was a fully-fledged kosher Honda dealer.

Is the Honda boot mat rubber, if so is it flexible enough that it could be partly folded back so that you can gain access to the space beneath the boot floor or does the lip round the edge make it fairly rigid?

I like the various suggestions for storage; such as storage containers, cardboard box although a wine box sounds a good idea, it might encourage some of my relatives to donate a bottle or two!

When there is just myself in the car I prefer to use the 'clever boot system' for convenience but when carrying passengers would like to have a rubberised boot mat especially for when I am called on by relatives to do a school run for them, football and rugby boots make a right mess of carpets!

Still checking out various on-line dealers and eBay for best price, although Rowse Honda seem to  have the cheapest price at the moment.

I noticed that there are a number of Honda dealers on eBay, ordered some rubber floor mats for my Jazz EX CVT which were reasonably priced with free postage.

You have to really search on eBay for best pricing as some dealers are also charging £10 courier fees which bumps the overall price up.

There is an eBayer in Hong Kong selling boot mats for the Jazz/Fit for about £41 including shipping which might be a worthwhile buy.

Thanks for that B&Q link, I just had a look at the website and the liner seems a bargain.

Will pop into our local B&Q and pick one up, it will also be handy when the rear seats are folded flat and the liner can be placed over them.

The genuine Honda rubber boot mat is not flexible enough to fold back. It's semi-rigid. You can twist it to feed it into the space but once down the all round lip makes it act like the shallow lid of a box. You can flex it but not fold it.
