Same here. The Contigo fits perfectly. Nice and snug, and stays put even during some mildly spirited driving!

I can only speak for the Yeti 20oz Rambler. It doesn't have a rubber base.

Here is cup holder that works great with all different size cups/bottles/mugs . Google The Clear Option cup holder. I have two and they work great and you can fold up when not in use. If you order them there are different ones for driver side and passenger side. I have had mine for a few years now with no problems.

I got made fun of when I added a cup holder to the Viper.

And if you Google 'Do Ferraris have cup holders?' this is the answer you get:

Comment: While many European car makers have gotten into the cup-holder game, some vehicles still don't come with cup holders. No Ferraris, for instance, have cup holders because "our drivers have a firm grip on the steering wheel," a Ferrari spokesman says.

A bit delayed, but got around to trying the Contigo mentioned by others - it does work perfectly.

Default Exactly- Clear Option

I’ve said that here before. Whoever makes the Clear Option has a winner. Nothing eve spills and no need for a huge double cup holder on the console. Bottles, cups any size. What’s best is I fold it away, which is most of the time when I’m driving.
