Same here... '98 5spd with console. Three holders, two smaller ones close
to the shifter, one larger (slightly elevated) behind those two.
The small ones hold a large McD. coke (albeit tightly!), without crushing.
I _do_ find that the passenger's hand, when busy adjusting volume/station/
balance/etc., gets in the way of 1st/3rd/5th shifts. Since it's soft flesh,
though, instead of rigid beverage containers, you just have to get behind
the shift a bit more, and it'll work out OK. =) After the second or third
time getting their hand crunched by an authoritative shift, they learn to
move it outta the way!
cheers,
