john73 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Just bouhgt my first Lexus, a 1997 ES 300 in great shape. A little under 150K, one-owner. I love it except for the console cupholder. Too flimsy and shallow. I can't take my mug of coffee with me on my drive to work any more because I'm in danger of dumping it over! Do most of you still use yours? Has anyone found a better way to carry drinks in the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvos Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i think thad lexus drop the ball on the cup holder.i have a 93 the cup holders suck,because you cant charge your phone and use the cupholder at the same tine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john73 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I bought a cheap (around $1) cupholder with the angled hook that goes into a window slot. found that if I put it in the top chamber of the center console hanging over onto the passenger seat (push the seatbelt receptor up) it fits perfectly and is much more secure than the built-ins! Only problem is I'm not sure what I'll do if I have a passenger AND a drink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcat90 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just bought a used 98 ES300 and learned very quickly that the front cupholder is a joke. Wish there was a better solution. The rear seat cupholder is much better but my arm won't bend that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
