Just picked up my 2008 active 1.6 hdi ECG today and was totally shocked to find no cup holder at all!

What is that about? I am aware I've opted for a cheaper specification but surely a cup holder is not too much to ask for?

I knew it didn't come with alloys, still haven't made my mind up about the steel wheel covers. I've got the car on a lease from work and hope I won't be disappointed. I'm coming from a Nissan Juke which I loved but fancied something different.

Funny though after picking it up popped into petrol station and it took me literally 10 mins to work out how to release the handbrake. I have got it now then

Never had an auto either (I am aware it's a clutchless manual) and am so far enjoying it, even though I've only done 30 miles.

What do I do about the cup holder debacle? Might have to search eBay tonight for solutions

Do you not have space for two cups under the fan controls

Have you tried putting a cup in them?

Very true I took the holder far more use now and the ambient light now actually lights the cubby hole up

Both me and the wife use small 250 - 330ml bottles of drink, they fit perfectly especially as they are not as tall as the normal 500ml.

The only bottle I found so far fit is the kids Robinsons fruit shoots. I found the 330ml ones I tried still fit at a angle and might rattle

I guess it is funny what we get used to. I'm so a cup of coffee man in the car, so I guess for the next 3 years I'll be driving much safer as I won't be swigging my coffee and driving :-D

Damn, my pint of lager doesnt fit in there so I guess I better wait til I get home.....!!

Can't always understand the folk who design the interiors. Don't they get thirsty when test driving the vehicle?

I have found that the two little "cup holders" that you refer to under the heater controls are actually where I keep my clip on sun glasses!

 

[tontinuk]

I manage to keep my clip-ons hooked under the little clip on the sun visor. I think its for paper or tickets but I just slide one lens of the clip on under it and push the sun visor up again.

Hi,
You can always put 250ml water in doors, guys, it fits ok.

...and bottles of 500ml in doors

Many moons ago I had a Citroen AX and they had a pocket in the front doors for a bottle of wine! Sadly missed!
