Coffee cup holder
Ok....im startin out simple.
bought my hhr last week.
coffee cup holder is way too low for my liking.
I see lots of flavors of extra holders on amazon...
KOBWA Car Seat Side Pocket with Cup Holder, Creative Console Drop Catcher Gap Filler Organizer Caddy PU Leather (Black, Passenger's Side)
I was thinking this....
Curious what others are using.

I found that double cupping the standard paper cups at drive thru's works great for me.
It make it stiffer and also helps insulate and protect your hand from the hot coffee. I have them delete the sleeve so that it does not interfere and the double cup is just enough larger in o.a. size to make less slop when resting in the holder.
I keep the outside clean cup and re-use it each time so that the drive thru does not have to double cup each time.
This works on 12oz. and 16oz fine unless you go to a different location the uses a different cup manufacturer but you just ask them to double cup and keep the outside cup there as well if needed.
I have only 2 places that I buy coffee unless I am traveling so I have this system down pat and it also saves the drive thru a new sleeve each time.

What I don't like is that the parking brake handle contacts the edge of disposable cups, spilling some of the contents. I must be very careful when operating the brake.
Kurt. looking at it again, I don't think the one you linked to looks very good. It has poor reviews. The cup holder seems quite small, and if you were to fit a larger cup, it may unbalance the whole contraption and tip forward, because the cup holder is outside of the base.
I thought this one was interesting.
You can scroll down just a bit and look at "Customers who bought this item also bought"

IMHO Chevrolet should have placed the Hand Brake on the left side as a Foot pedal press and press again to release like my 2004 Chevy Venture van.
It isn't like I dislike the hand brake ... Just where it is located.
