Cup Holder

MB is so good at what the do, but they gotta realize people drink soda... and when you use 20 oz bottles, you dont want your huge square cupholder grabbing on to the bottom of your bottle when you take a drink.

Better than...

the center one is way better than the 2 rinky-dink ones on the side. I'm not fortunate enough to have the center one. When I put a bottle of water up there (Crystal springs bottle) and hit the gas, the bottle ends up in the back via the small alleyway between the door and the seat. Soda cans are ok, then usually stay put. Anything bigger than that, no sir! Be thankfull to have the center one.

oh, the center one is best for big, normal sized stuff, but 20oz bottles that have a big bottom, skinny middle, then big top get caught in it.

I happen to like the side holders. They are perfect for me and well located. With them you do not drip on the consol. Rarely if ever use the large center one.

No doubt the side cup holders are better than nothing and certainly better than the mechanical gadgetry they use in the C-Class. I just can't trust the way that a Biggie Coke floats in the air on that thing.
