Default cup holders

I hate to say it; but the stock cup holders in these 300s are some of the most poorly designed ones Ive seen out of any vehicle Ive had thus far new or used. The Main problem is whenever i have my 2 cups filled up(I always have one filled with caffeine and the other with water; the water is a 44oz. the caffeine one is 32oz; is there any sorta better designed holder i can get that will snugly hold them in place so I dont have to hold them every time i go around a decent size curve or I have to come to a hard stop. Because if i dont do that; they will end up toppling over due to the lousy design of the holders. What can i get that will hold them better in place so i dont have to hold them all the time like that? thanks!

Matt:

This is a known problem, and it is mostly from the US market .. with our super-sized drinks ,,, it seems the other world who use of 6-8oz drink size should grow up to our 32oz size beverages

Salim; still though even with that is there any type of holder etc. that i can get that is out there on the after market that will hold them in place securely like something a auto parts place might have in their accessories area?

You could try 4 smaller cups using both sets of cup holders. Perhaps two 16 ounce cups of caffeine in the rear and two 16 ounce cups of water in the front???

In actuality, they aren't the best holders, and I have gotten used to holding my "Big Gulp" when I turn corners.....

No food and drinks in my cars. My extended family children hate to ride with us.

If you must, I have seen things that look like
nb This is bad pictograph but think the round of the b is in horizontal plane (hole to pass the beverage container) and the part of the "n" wedges in the glass over the door side panel.

I wouldn't dare use the cup holders on the top of the center console nor the one on the back seat..
