cupholders
Hello,
I'm looking for a little help; I have a 2009 IS250 with a manual transmission. The problem that I have is that the cup holder closest to the shifter is too short to hold a Grande or Venti cup from Starbucks without impeding the use if the shifter. My question, is there a way to make this cup holder deeper?

I wasn't going to be the one to say it but this....^^^^^
Really you'd have to get a vent cup holder.

That cup holder doesn't work well at all on the M/T, it's even worse than the A/T. Have you tried using the one in the console instead? It's quite a bit deeper.

Best to use the rear cup holders. I use those more than anything. There was another thread about cup holders. I'll try to find it for you.

What's up with the Felt lined cup holder inside the arm rest? why felt! seems like it's going to be a pain to clean.
