The drink holder by the steering wheel is great for keeping your drinks cool. Open the vent so the air hits the bottle/can, set the circulation to the air vents and put the A/C on, voila Cold drink!

Its also a great place to have your drink spill on your knee if its too full,
uncapped drinks are definitely out of the question.

So cap your drinks. No aftermarket drink holder's going to fix that.

I was thinking the same thing.

What are you people drinking out of? Full 5 gallon buckets without lids?

the drinks are capped but if the drink is too full it will come out of the hole in the lid. Odd that i seem to be the only one with this problemnobody drinks coffee out there and had the coffee spill when opening the plastic lid? Welcome to the club Ceily

My far left drink holder regularly has coffee dried in/on it.
Acceleration happy MT Yaris + full coffee = coffee shooting straight up out of the holes in the lid + loud cussing. I learned my lesson: drink it down an inch before taking off I've also had the bladder buster 44oz. cups try to tip over and fall out, so i use the one in the center for those...

I saw a suggestion on another car forum that made me think, "why didn't I think of that":

A roll of duct tape.

When you think about it, the idea makes sense. As long as the inner diameter of the roll works, the "cupholder" won't slide (at least on the floormat). Just passing the idea along...

And a great place to turn your cold beverage nice and hot if used when the heat is on.

FFS, guys - buy a frikkin' portable kitchen for the back seat so you can make your donuts while you drive as well. :sarcasm:

If you don't want your drink to get hot in the holder, then close that vent off pro tem. It ain't rocket science...
