Default cup holders

Man I hate the cup holders in my Monte. You make a left turn. Bang there it goes on the right floor mat. No way to reach it. If you have a tall drink in there. Your always hitting when turn on the radio or moving your hand in that direction. GEEEZ! I drives me nuts sometimes.

the cup holders in the 6th gens arent much better. the front cup holder sucks. you cant even put a cup in there if the car is in park. and it doesnt hold anything. it does have one good holder though behind the shifter. but i feel ya on that one.

Did you guys say cup "holders"? Us 5th gens with floor shifters are stuck with ONE cup holder for the whole car.

I have 2 cup holders...

one is practical, and if the other is used, I cant shift gears.

riddle me that one Ford. Who checked off the interior design? someone who doesn't believe in drinking I guess.

Check out the cupholder on a 4th gen Camaro... or more accurately the change holder. The diameter of a soda can and about half an inch high! I use the front cup holder on the Monte to hold the base for my GPS, back one as everyone else has said is a nice one. Chevy put a much more user friendly cupholder in the newer Impalas then they did in the Monte... go figure. Guess drivers of coupes shouldn't drink while driving?
