Default I need a cupholder!

So I love my 850, but the combination of my morning coffee, no cupholders and driving a stick (no free hands to hold the cup) is starting to get to me.

So has anyone found a good cup holder solution? I found some dinky looking ones to mount on the vents, but that doesn't sound like a great solution. Im thinking of something to mount on the side of the center console or something.

Any ideas anyone?

Looks like my armrest never had them.

Would I have to change my whole center console?

nope.just the top part of the armrest where it is hinged.also,i think i saw a post of somebody putting a 740 armrest in their 850 and was compatible.

edit:not sure if a 740 is compatible but a s70 def. is.with smaller cupholders..BUT IT HAS EM!

Cool, gotta start looking for armrests then.

I also found this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Console-Cup-Holder-Volvo-240-740-850-S40-S70_W0QQitemZ380111610254QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors _Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item380111610254 &_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A1|39%3A1|240 %3A1318

I guess that would also work if I ever get around to change the stereo to a single din...

Default Cup holder slides btween seat

Hi,
I dont know if this will help you, but I have a Volve 960 Wagon, I never knew i had cup holders till this little bitty plastic thing, popped out- well it holds a can of coke or a small soda....My solution found something at Walmart, it slides between the seats-mine is on Passenger Side it is a Wedge Cup Holder, this is awesome for me- I slide it more to the front and it will hold up to a SONIC big cup and I can put 2 in the cup holder , holds fine, middle slot for cell phone or whatever, im gonna try and get pix on site...hope this helps cost $7.00 at Walmart, in Auto section...erinjohn01@hotmail.com
