Default Useless cupholders?

Does anyone else here who drives a manual find that the cupholders in the center console are completely useless for holding drinks? I cant shift if there is anything in there, gets in the way of my arm, Ah well, at least the rest of the car is kick ***.

Just skip the supersize mcsh!t!es soft drink and it's ok.

But yeah, it can be a little annoying, normal coffee cup fits fine though.

Remove the false bottom from the rear cup holder and a can will fit in there and be flush.

Solution: Don't use them as cupholders

Here's a better use from Steeda

they are utterly useless, to the point where i will never bring a drink in the car. but the way i drive, having a cup in the car would probably be a bad idea anyway

theres gotta be some aftermarket thing that is an improvement on the cupholder.

Yes, Ford still hasn't figured out the cup holder in the mustang problem. I just put the drink between my legs.
