I dont know if it's just me or if anyone has had any problems with the design of opening and closing the center console. I find myself not being able to put much of anything inside because it tends to get stuck from the inside. I dont know why the console doen't just open from front to back.

 

LOL how much are you trying to stuff in there? there is a glove box and trunk too

 

This complaint is almost as bad as the trunk lid opening only a few inches with button pushed.

 

While the center armrest is a little small, the only time i have trouble closing it is when I try and stuff too much crap in there.

 

I don't get why you should have to slide it back to open it

 

my wallet gets stuck in there all the time.... Lets just say i have a big wallet.

 

The reason it slides is because you can leave it open, to access the cup holder/ipod and still use the arm rest.

is your name George Costanza?

 

Hah!!! I love the George Costanza wallet and when it broke with the guitar lesson add!!! The center console is a pain, it holds nothing really. It is very easy to jam. Also, they should have put the I-Pod dock stero jack port somewhere else. You can't really close that thing with it plugged in.

 

All I have in the armrest console is the ipod connected with the vaistech a pack of gum, a pager, and my work id thats it. I keep everything in the glove box

 

my trunk doesnt even go a few inches. when its open it looks closed, even i cant tell..... but im not complaining if i wanted a trunk door that opens myself i would of gotten a rx

 

hehe, funny there is a thread on this because it is one of those little things that always seems to happen if you have stuff stored in there. If it gets wedged on something, good luck.

I almost broke mine trying to open it several times a while ago. CD's were always a problem.

Solution: I keep about 50% capacity or less of stuff in there.

 

May I suggest the European Carryall?

 

only complaint i have is when putting a drink there, my right arm feels out of place.. i usually like to leave my hand on the ****

 

lol try driving a stick and having a cup in the holder. fun times.
