Default Important Question

I don't have my car yet. Currently still on the waiting list, but I figure I need to get the answer to an important question. I like to drive with a beverage, usually sweet tea or water, everywhere I go. Usually the 30 or 20 oz Yeti type cups. Do they fit in the cup holders or do I need to invest in new cups.

You can’t do that….nor drive the car in the rain….nor parking it anywhere other then your customized garage where you spend all your time waxing it….then sell it a few years later with less then 1k miles….problem solved.

Shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like we have to actually shift gears anymore.

Unlike my C7s where I had to modify the cup holders to hold a water bottle no need in the C8. It's deep enough so in a 1"g" turn or hard braking it doesn't tip. I have a 16 oz C8 logo bottle that works fine. Only use water.

SIDEBAR
Your comment about sweet tea remines me when i moved to SC in 1985. One of my young, Southern product managers was served unsweet tea. I said why not just add sugar? He laughed and said you have to boil the water to get enough sugar to dissolve. I can't stand Southern Sweat Tea. Been known to spit it back in the glass when served instead of the unsweet tea I careful order.

Only 16 oz but woks for me.

That's why I drink Arnold Palmers with unsweetened tea. The lemonade provides enough sweet and lemon to make the tea drinkable!

Thanks for the reply. Yes this will be a daily driver. I was toying with the idea of keeping a little gas saver but I just can't see myself not driving a car this nice everyday.
