"Premium floor liners" are Mazda OEM liners available only in Canada. If you want the best quality and fit with genuine Mazda and CX-5 logos, Canadian OEM Premium Floor Liners are the one you want. They*re definitely not the same as 3D Maxpider liners claimed by some (see pictures for comparison).
I agree ! "Canadian OEM Premium Floor Liners are the one you want !"
I throw in with you guys. That's what I got and have yet to see or imagine anything better.
While you're at it. The Canadian wire harness for the tow hitch is also the best. Doesn't require cutting anything or running a cable from the battery.
Another vote for both these items...gee, I wonder from whom I originally got both suggestions? (drinks)
It seems that Canadians must have higher expectations and in the US we just take what we're given.
I just learned from another thread the other day that the CX-5 OEM Australian hitch isn't a receiver-style type like here in the US. Apparently, in general Australians tend to prefer the type sold there.
Yep...those Aussie hitches look pretty nifty. Click on the video in the link below that shows how it works.

Not being familiar with what's going on inside, the Australian hitch makes me a little uncomfortable that the tongue load is applied in the "uninstall" direction of the hitch. It seems that all of the tongue is tugging on whatever "latch" is holding the hitch in place.

This is a european style of hitch and is common on german cars. If I had found this site before, I might have gone with one of these as it is a much cleaner look. But to see how it works check out this page:

3d maxprider matt's came in yesterday. They're PERFECT.
I had Maxpiders in my last CX-5 and after 3 years there was wear through the top layer where my right heal rested on the mat in front of the accelerator pedal. Now I have the Mazda all weather (Canadian) mats that I am certain are made for Mazda by the same company that makes the Maxpiders. The material looks exactly the same other than a slight difference in the pattern. The only issue I have at the moment is that after 3 months of owning these mats, and salty snow on the mats, the clips(under the mats) holding the CX-5 badges in place have rusted off. Hopefully Mazda can resolve this for me, as I have explained my concern to them already.
I am surprised no one seems to have acknowledged this comment, although repeated multiple time. I also saw similar comments on reviews of the 3dmaxpider online. As anyone else had the same issue with these mats ?
kdaug, did you manage to resolve the clip rusting issue ?

...And as to the other question, we also got the 3DMAX cargo liner, and this is also very nice. There are specific cut out areas that you can cut to expose the other set of tiedowns on the cargo floor towards the seat backs. There are relief pockets molded in within the cutout area, so it should be straightforward to follow the outline with an exacto. We do have the floor mount cargo net installed, so I will be cutting them out.
I didn't cut them out yet as I didnt have time last night, so I can't comment on that yet. The other two tiedown brackets are installed on the rear wall (on either side of liftgate), and cargo line has depression reliefs in the lip of the liner in each spot, so no cutting required here.
