cupholders

[silveralero88]

do ahyone like where their cupholders is at in the alero?

[redalero86]

Well if you only have one drink its ok.

I dont mind it my friend had a 95 impreza and his cup holders slid out from on top of the cd play so it would always drip down onto his deck so they could be worse

[silveralero88]

i just think that the one holder is in an awkward place when you try to shift from drive to park.

Well the front one infront of the shifter is more like a coin holder

no the coin holder is the little thing under the dimmer switch that pops down

[JLw7123]

there is one near the park and there is one in front of the arm rest it has a cover that opens and closes

The front one is not a cup holder, it is where the ash tray goes on the smoker models.

There are small tissue boxes that fit it, or you can do like everyone in the world else does and use it for coins. :)

[silveralero88]

wait.. i never knew there was a coin holder!!

[redalero86]

Oh so thats what that thing is for. I always wondered what to put in there cause nothing seems to fit quite right

Did you know about the little compartment under the center console lid? That one totally got me too.
Thank you Aleromod! :thumb:

The little one under the dimmer switch hold alot of coins and the remote for my underbodys just perfectly. The front one is also a coin holder/ lighter holder.

I've always just used mine for coins and the occasionally right sized drink.. then smashed it with my knuckles on the shifter trying to park after forgetting anything was there. The back cup holders that fold down from the center console have been broken for a while, due to some careless backseat passengers.

I can fit a pop can in the so called ashtray holder, other than that I use it for my stereo and sat radio remotes. I put a bunch of euros in my change holder to annoy my friends who always route around my car looking for my spare change.

[knuckleballer32]

I dont use the one under the dimmer switch for anything. I put my phone in the flip open cup holder and I put the cancer stick lighter in the one in front of the shifter when I use the outlet.

no, thats the bluetooth headset holder!:ninja:

i just use the coin/ashtray thing for holding my ipod... sits nicely in there while it is attached to my touchscreen... And that little cubby under the dimmer is unused as of now, but maybe mount a switch or something in there for my tvs or something... not much use though to me...

drime look around and explore your car, you know those little pocket tissue packet things, they fit in the top of your center console lol

[jrim]

I've always put my little pieces of trash into the little flipdown thing by the dimmer switch lol and then I'll empty it at the car wash (they have a little thing you drive by and throw trash into). The ash tray holder is reserved for change and other small objects. lol

That and in my alero it is too wide like it's for a big sip cup or something.

Nate's Alero:huh?

Thats the one I was talking about, only I put gum packets in mine. I learned about it from another thread similar to this one on Aleromod.

Drive a European car if you want to bitch about cupholders. I had to buy a new travel mug to be able to have at least 8oz of coffee in the morning. There's not one place you can fit a big gulp in a MINI. Then again, have enough big gulps and you won't fit in a MINI. Hehe.

I always had tissue or gum in the center console - change in the change holder, and kept the forward cupholders for cans or misc. crap in the Alero.

i can live with the very front one, its the back ones i hate, but ive lost inspiration on my rear box project lame, then pop scrapped it to make a piece for the front loader of the tractor on our landscaper
