OK, that cup holder does seem like a joke. So I went ahead and opened a can of beer (no, I didn't drink it) and put it in the cup holder. (Steel reserve 211, for those wondering. Makes me want to post a question asking about your favorite beer, but I won't, but go ahead and respond with your favorite beer if you want to...) OK, I just took one sip so it wasn't at the very top (just one sip, no more) and drove the curviest road I know, at a pretty good clip.

The results? Not a drop of beer spilled, and the can stayed in place like it was glued. I was quite surprised.

So that Edmunds review about the cup holders? How did they actually test them? I don't know, but I can tell you the C5 cup holders rock!

Test it on a quick launch or hard shift and see what you think. But don't do it with an open can!! Ric

Glad to hear the cupholder works!
BTW, the beer favorite brand has already been posted here.

Hah! I would have liked to have seen you get out of that one! "Uhh. Officer. Let me explain. You're not going to believe this."

Poor man's G-Tech, huh?

I must be one of the few that thinks it sucks then. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif The holder in my formula was a lot better... it would hold a 20ounce bottled drink without it flying to the passenger seat when i took off. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I use the cup holder only for holding my cell phone and use hands-free operation. The holder is perfect for that use. There is a strict rule in my car; NO open containers of any type or food consumption, NO exceptions. No smoking either, other than the tires!

Ack! /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif I only have the one car.. so that really isn't an option for me... caution is though. I don't keep containers that can't be sealed tight in the car for more than a few minutes at a time though...

I was wondering the same thing about the can/cup holder and i tested it with an unopened coke and it seemed to hold and ride fine. Although, I doubt i will ever try it with an open container.
