Hey gang
I had a 97 Civic that held cups like a pro, but my car now (99 Si) has a cupholder that's too big for anything. What, if anything, did some of you do???

Time to super-size your drink, anywhere you go. :rolleyes:

Yeah, as you can tell, I hate my jumbo sized cup holders in my '00 DX coupe (same ones you have). I don't have a solution, but damn, I'm blown away that the larger right side holder will accomidate my Nissan Stanless Steel cup/mug/thermos thing! :eek: :uhoh: I mean, seriously that's rediculous...

Honda takes 3 tries to get it right. 5th gens ('92-'95's) the front cup holders were too small for much of anything. 6th gen ('96-'00) they were too big well '99-'00 at least. Then for 7th gens, my understanding is that they are just right!

lol...super size would be great, but on my college budget that would take a toll...especially when my gas is $2.09/gallon...jam!! I guess I'll try to switch mines with a 96-98. They were much deeper.

The 7th gens do grip cans, bottles, mugs, like a pro but they dont hold the supersizes very well without falling and spilling. trust me on that one .

go low budget...ask for more napkins, and stuff the napkins on the side of your cup so that its comfortable :smokin:

u know what sucks about my 01 civic.. cup holders are fine.. can hold pretty much all sizes.. what sucks is that its right underneath the radio and a/c controls so i cant put those tall ass cups in there without it tilting halfway out

So you guys consider this a waste of a thread? Yet I see all kinds of threads asking questions that are a huge waste of time...
