Weird Question/Poll For All F10 Owners.....

scottz5 · 08-22-2011, 04:34 PM

We know the cup holders block the a/c controls and all that other stuff.

Does anyone not use them at all and leaves it closed? Mine are always open, I don't think I ever drove the car with them closed. I throw something in it all the time. It could just the key, iPhone, or maybe a beer (joking) you get the idea. Lol something is always in it. I cleaned it the other day and was I wonder what it looks like close. Looked really nice, but I need those holders. Where are all of you on this?

Got me thinking cupholders should look/match the surrounds in this level of car. Maybe the trim? Maybe the silver?

I don't like the look of the single open cupholder in the console of the manual. Not sure if I'll use it for other stuff. The one time I tried using it (hot day during my European Delivery), the bottle of water I had was too big.

On the other hand, I'm VERY happy with the driver-side glove box. My fuel notebook, pen, sunglasses, and digital tire pressure gauge all fit nicely. Beats the hell out of leaning over the console to reach all that stuff in the regular glove box.

Got to have somewhere to put my coffee mug and phone. The phone goes on the left side, since it does not block my AC controls... and my coffee mug/thermos goes on the right side. Of course there are issues when my wife is with me... it's on then, but she usually wins.
