Are your cupholders.....different sizes?

No bid deal, as I don't eat or drink in my car anyway(and if I do, its a bottled drink so I can put the top right back on)... and in that, I have noticed the passenger cupholder is larger than then driver's side....


is this normal, or do I have a defect on my cupholder?


of course its not something I would worry about anyway(like that my cig lighter used to not work on my gtp, but it functioned as an accessory port all the same), I just found this odd...

Yeah and the 2.2's have the little rubber cup holder insert to fit more sizes. At least my old LS came with one. I kept it when I traded for the SS and it doesn't even fit because of the two different sizes. Sucks

I usually keep my drink in the right one anyway. Kinda makes getting into first difficult with those big Whataburger cups For some reason, fifth isn't an issue though, either because maybe I don't use it that much normally/around town or that maybe my knuckles are at a different angle or something. I'll have to pay attention to that next time...

yeah, I keep mine in the passenger side as well, because as you said going into 5th isn't a problem
