Oh yeah! I forgot about the cupholders on the '05s! That COULD make your wife feel cramped. That would be the first thing I'd do: I'd remove that puppy ASAP! It's totally invasive to passenger knee-space! UGH!

cup holder begone!

Hear, hear!! That was the first mod I did. I figure it's good for 5 bhp!!!

Seriously, the removal of the pillar cup holder opens up the passenger side a wee bit. That may be enough. Before I removed it, my wife's knee kept on hitting it. That might contribute to the cramped feeling.

At least we get the CD player as standard equipment here in the states as well. Of course, we hope you don't have to deal with "Where do I put my big gulp?!?!"

Bottles of water fit fine in the remaining holders, esp the pint sized ones.

hey,
duard
Motor on!
