Question Console armrest cupholder usable?

I guess I'm wondering if the cupholder inside the center console (in the armrest part) is really usable, since it looks like the cup would go where my elbow wants to go. And since the other one is kinda small, I'm wondering what you guys are doing with your MacDonald's cups.

I have a tin of Ice Breakers mints and it fits perfectly in there. I usually don't use the cupholders in the car since I don't allow food, drink or smoking in my car. I probably wouldn't use that particular cupholder anyway because I wouldn't want to get the "fuzzy stuff" in there to get all messed up.

They work fine for me, plus sometimes I use the rear cup holders.

Ever notice that thin people generally don't biggie size their food orders. I think the IS cupholders were designed with that in mind.

I use the smaller front cupholder for small drinks. The one in the center console I use for big water bottles (I particularly like Pellegrino, which is in a wide glass bottle), my coffee thermos, or a bottle of wine with a long straw...

Works fine for me and hasn't gotten in the way... I usually have a bottle of water in there.

I usually use the armrest cupholder for watter bottles as well. It looks REALLY COOL at night when the LED lights up the clear watter bottle - gives it a glowing effect.

The little cup holder concerns me also. Worst case I could just use my natural cup holder... you know... my crotch

As a bonus it keeps the boys cool on hot days!
