Why is there no cup holder
« on: 02 April 2008, 18:54:24 »
I borrowed a friends 99 2.5 v6 CD Omega today to get a feel for one.  For the money you cant go wrong, the only negative point was there was no cup holders.  Is this a model specific thing or is there an aftermarket solution,

Cheers,

My GLS has got 2

But as you say they have had to be the aftermarket ones.  I just clipped mine into the cemtral airvents.

I made sure they had nace secure clips.

There is in the facelift interior, it's under the centre arm rest.

A few people have got some from the Cadillac Catera - They fold out from the arm rest on the prefacelift.

Bad boys me thinks?? ;)

The cup holder question has annoyed me also, i have a facelift CDX, and the so-called holders in the armrest are not really fit for purpose.

If i put a drink in one, it would fall over the second i drove off, also, my elbow would have to be tied tightly to my side.

Has anyone fitted some nice pop-out ones to their facelift? and if so, could we get some info?

Cheers

For obvious safety reasons, cupholders aren't intended to be used when the car is in motion!!!

Agreed, but a closed water bottle or similar, sitting in a holder would be ok.

Ti's nice to have a cold drink handy when you stop ;)

I regularly use cupholders to support my large "coffee nation" latte with double shot. I don't see what the issue in having the odd sip of a coffee is when sitting on the motorway..
