did you notice that the cup holder in the center console is adjustable? The bottom can come out to expose an even deeper cup colder. no more TALL starbucks, back to GRANDE!

When I got my '05, I noticed a Starbucks grande coffee fits *perfectly* in the cupholder. The '13 was the same... I am (still) convinced that the engineers were Starbucks drinkers... LOL!

indeed! My fx4 screw has like 8 or 10 cupholders, but my 6MT stang is a wee bit trickier.

I see you have a light bar on your car? what make? rear wind deflector too?
I see those in my future before I make my summer roadtrip through the rockies.

Not a fan of Starbucks. My personal travel mug fits well in there. I mostly leave the insert in the center console hatch.

Our Mini Countryman's cup holders suck... I am pretty sure the engineers drank Redbull or something, cause one of those cans is about all that fits... Any type of large fountain drink is a bit sketchy and you pray to the cup holder Gods that it actually stays (kinda) in place...

My lightbar is the CDC one (without light). I had it on my '06, took it off when I sold it and re-installed it on my '13! I don't have a wind deflector though... Not super important to me... But I love the lightbar!

Yep. I even think my '01 had a removable (rubber?) part too... If I remember right...

Yep! Bought a venti today and it's a big help when banging gears.
