Must say the passenger flip-out one is the only one of the front cup holders that actually works... I have been known to use it even when I'm driving by myself It's the only one that will reliably hold a can without spilling it everywhere.
Bottles of coke, bottles of water, everything is too small for the center cup holders... And the bottle holders on the doors have to be the worst design EVER - 1) I always, always, always kick/scuff it with my foot when getting out, and 2) when I put a large bottle of water in there, the cap of the bottle (ie. the rough/sharp bit) rubs exactly against the beautiful chrome surround for the door speaker

Agreed!
Some inserts to reduce the diameter of the center cupholders would be welcome..

The Vittel "sport" water fits the front centre cupholders...so well that the insert stays on the bottle when you try and have a swig from it....end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

I like the way the door holders will hold a bottle of champagne. 8)
I have some rubber sheet in mine for when it is anordinary bottle of wine.
I seem to remember the centre ones were designed for the US market to take a large 'macdont' thickshake. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

On the subject of the cupholder inserts - the first thing SWMBO said when she got in my new Disco was "are these dishwasher safe?" Anyone tried?
