Yup. That coin slot is the main reason I bought a 6MT over an Auto

I can see why. I mean you can fit a whopping 6 coins in there before it is full...

We have cupholders? It must be the 35HRs got shafted. Unless, you're talking about the little compartments the size of ring boxes. I really just desire a place to put my Texas-sized iced tea from La Cocinita to wash down my breakfast tacos without dumping it all over the interior each time I shift.

See above picture or don't eat and drive. I can never have drinks in my car because I corner too fast and they would spill all over the place even if I had them duct taped to the cup holders.

The car is for transport. I don't eat and drive. I do, however, pickup my tacos and tea and drive to my office. Still need to transport the tea and still need to shift.

BTW, you're using duct tape wrong if you can't drive without spilling your drinks even with duct tape. I don't care if you're Ken Block. Duct tape solves everything. You need to up your MacGyver game.

Can't fit my coffee in the cup holder and can't fit my sunglasses case in my center console.

I know. I had to use a swiss army knife, gum wrapper, and a paperclip, but then I realized I accidentally made an atom bomb (My MacGyver game is exceptionally strong).

I had the same problem with my sunglasses. I guess they designed it for people with small heads.

Don't you have a sunglasses holder up by the map lights?

I just use a sandwich bag for my change tray, that way I don't have to try to scoop out single coin at a time.

the sedans have two coin slots under the arm rest.


Its those two angled semi circle cutouts. Felt, and the angle of the cutouts, as well as the closed lid, dont let the coins slide out. They fit like 4-5 quarters each, Loonies too, Toonies barely fit. (last two are Canadian obviously lol)

You have a different arm rest with the A/T. Us 6spd. guys have one slot on the side of the cup holders.

Wow, I never even realized that. I keep my car wash change in a plastic film canister in the center console.

I keep quarters on one side (for parking meters) and my bank's parking lot tokens on the other. Other than that, I've stopped keeping change in the car. Instead of dumping it all into the ashtray of my previous car, I just pocket it and carry it till I get home. I've found it's not much inconvenience.

I do like that center console caddy thing. I'm going to order one. Thanks for the link to that.
