only 1 cupholder?

I've got 3...2 in front of shifter and 1 behind center console...

I want rubber inserts for smaller cups....i hardly ever drink 7-11 Ultra Humongous Super-Size Big Gulps that still don't even fit in the drive side cup holder...

Who designed the size of the cupholders?

Yes I have them in mine also BUT.........They did not come in my car. I bought my car used and my i seen that my buddy had them in his SO....I went back to the dealership that i got my car from and said i was looking for a focus for my girl they had a used one there so I looked for the cup holders it had them...I took it down the road, set the cup holders behind a vaccum at the car wash, went back told them i would think about it so I went back picked em up brought them home and put them in! Not a bad idea! I jus borrowed them!

I've been in Foci that couldn't hold a slurpee cup as they seemed closer to the dash. My ZX5 holds large cups like slurpee cups easily though. Maybe something they changed after the first model year?

2000-2001 had horrible cupholders, 2002+ they changed.

I've accidentally thrown both my cupholder inserts in the garbage at gas stations. They would stick on the bottom of bigger cups and when I went to throw the cups away the cupholders went to. Didn't notice they were gone until the next time I tried to drink a beverage in my car.

Here's a good mod for the cup holders. Glue some velcro patches to either side of the holder and console, they are still removable, but won't just come out when you lift your drink.

There are some velcro patches with glue backing already, but the heat during summer might make them tacky and eventually come off, so try some good adhesive.

I'll try it later to see if it works.
