Let me start by saying,that yes, I've heard all the stuff about how "serious drivers" only drive in the car and don't consume food/liquids at the same time etc...HOWEVER..
I do enjoy having a cup of coffee or some soda to drink (depending on time of day or weather conditions etc..) while I'm driving as I imagine lots of folks do.
I just purchased a new 2006 Forrester (replacing my 99). My 99 Forrester had a pull out cup holder in the front just under the central air vents. The down side was that it blocked the air vents, the plus side was that it was perfectly situated for me!
The one and only thing I dislike about my new Forrester is that they no longer have a cup holder there, replacing it with 2 cup holders "on the floor".
However, these are situated in a very very inconveient position, I have to really twist my arm in an awkward fashion to reach anything I put in them. Not so bad with a bottle of soda, but makes me very nervous with a hot cup of coffee!
Are there any after market cup holder type thingies that I could get to help me out ? (There used to be one that could actually be attatched to the air vent, not sure if they are still around).
