I love my car. Love it! I love everything about it. It's very versatile (go hatchbacks!) and it gets great gas mileage. lots of little accessories in it that make driving it a pleasure.
Between the two front seats are two cup holders. One sits in front of the other, and the one in the back sits just a little bit higher than the other. The one in back is perfect for pretty much everything. Soda cans, water bottles, fast food cups, again, everything can fit in this cup holder.
The partner cup holder does not perform the same job with the same vigor and excellence, however, and it is very upsetting. For whatever reason, it is just a little bit smaller than the other one. It won't hold a soda can, and it's too close to the rear cup holder to allow anything with a lid to sit in it without the lid popping off. About the only thing that will actually fit in this cup holder is a standard 16.9 oz water bottle.
I'd like to know why on earth the designers of this otherwise wonderful car would put in cup holders of differing sizes? It seems like a completely idiotic thing to think of, let alone actually put into practice. I mean, who on earth designs something with two separate size cup holders? I get the idea that some beverage containers are different sizes, but there are many ways to make a larger cup holder work with smaller objects, but there are no ways to make a smaller cup holder fit larger cups.
my car, also a lovely hatchback, has two different size cup holders. there's the two, normal sized ones that pop out of the console- they're good for standard fast food drinks and standard sized plastic water bottles. then there's a single cup holder between the driver and passenger seat, slightly behind and accessible to the back seat people. it is also larger, and holds a slightly larger non-plastic water bottles fairly nicely (which wouldn't fit in the smaller cup holders), but it doesn't hold my plastic water bottles very well-- they always fall out. and i'm scared to put fast food type of drinks in it because i think they might also fall out :P
