Being "better than the C2" really isn't much of a compliment. Just sayin'....
Far better than than the C3, C4, and C5 too! I had 44 ounces go all over my C5 ones...never again!

I put a hundred Del Scorcho packets in a cup, and it never budged!

Problem solved!

I seem to be alone here, but I've been driving my C7 since June 23rd, when I drove it 100 miles home from Kerbeck with a bottle of Iced tea in the cup holder, and it never crossed my mind, that there was anything wrong with the cup holders. I've never had a problem with any drink I've put in them. I'm not a coffee drinker, so maybe that's where the problem is? They're perfect for soda cans, iced tea bottles, etc...

Anyone remember what these things are called?

Proabably not hitting 1 "g" on a sweaping 270 degree exit ramp or using the brakes hard (for fun) coming into a 90 degree turn on a ruarl road! With my fix, post 14, I can!
