Show me your cupholders!
Since the factory cupholder placement is pitiful, I have been trying to find a decent replacement since I've owned a Fifth Gen. The few I've tried have had shortcomings and so I'm still looking
One of them went between the passenger seat and the center console. I still have this one but it doesn't hold larger cups like large Dunkin iced tea or something. Another one tucked under the center console trim and rested on the floor. That one leaned the wrong way and any weight tipped it over towards the front. And so I found a generic plastic one that hooks over the window when it's down. It's actually a decent solution but I don't like that it's hanging on the window. So aside from not drinking in the car, what have you done to solve this? What is good/bad about what you chose? And show me some pics! |

It don’t come easy.

The factory console ones have never been an issue for us. But, admittedly, we only throw in a couple of water bottles. No big gulps or anything like that.

If you have a manual car they are terrible placement. I saw one years ago that clip onto the trim on the passenger side. Never bought them because I just don't drink in my car.

i agree the drink holders suck.. Im in the boat of not a real issue since no one eats or drinks in the car. Fine for a normal water bottle or bottle of soda

I only use the second one further back for my coffee thermos. Fits great lol. But , the cup holders have been what seem to be an after thought with GM in these cars. My 1993 Trans Am has the same issue , and its a six speed. Totaly usless location.

Because I have a manual, I got short cups that fit the holder well and don't get in the way of shifting. I then purchased a two cup holder that sits on the floor behind the passenger seat that can hold larger cups for longer trips. Easy to reach and out of the way. I will get a couple of pics up.

I know we aren't supposed to post links for stuff like this but RPI designs sells these https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item...Wb1qW80SSGrlbk I see a couple other vendors with the same item listed as well.

I only use a water bottle when I'm alone driving.. it's between me and the armrest. If do get coffee, it's with my wife and she holds our drinks. I find it very annoying having drinks in the cup holders

Haha awesome.
Yeah I try not to drink in the car, or eat, but sometimes food happens. I'll have to try the RPI designs cup holder. I ordered one like it before but it was intended for the Vette. (RPI was out of stock), so that's the one that fell forward any time the drink was heavy. I also like the back seat idea. I don't use my back seat at all, so it never occurred to me. |
