The issue isn't so much that it's going to be difficult to clean up, you'd have that issue regardless of the location of the cup holder, but more of locating them as to minimize intrusion into the operation of the vehicle. I admit the center console is not the ideal location for a cup holder, but then again, neither is behind the individual as it becomes difficult to pick up and drink.

It's law of averages that sooner or later the top is gonna come off the fountain drink when you reach for it. You drop it trying to get the cup back in cause all the sudden you have to shift gears for whatever reason.

Or it's bound to happen while you are texting, reading a book, eating your breakfast enroute to work and oh yeah...driving

Stupidity or clumsiness doesn't have to result in a catastrophic accident. All things being equal, I'd much rather clean my carpet and floormat than my expensive electronics and gauges.

BUT it would be nice to have it both on that console but also out of the way of electronice.

Best bet is to just drive with your GF, wife, mistress or buddy and let them hold the cups if you're thirsty!

+1 hold the drink AND don't dare touch the stereo unless given specific directions about it

Cute sidestory. My rule has always been, you don't touch my stereo in my car and I don't touch yours in your car. My last GF didn't own a car
