I'm on the large side, lol, so the cup holder is a moot point. I need the space to rest my elbow.
I've managed to abstain from coffee for the 25 min. it takes me to get from my last cup at home to the first cup at work.
I get to enjoy my "for the ride" coffee when I drive the Jeep GC but the ride is NOT nearly as much fun. I'll live with it.
