The only one that gets used is the one on the passenger door panel, the two back ones are too shallow, the center one gets in the way of shifting and the pull out one seems to weak IMO

I never use the cup holder in the center console because the cup gets in the way when I shift. Only use the hidden cup holder.

Hahahaha....I had my car for almost 2 years before I found out that cup holder was there!!!

I use the flip out one for drinks. The center one I use for cell phone or any other crap I need to stick somewhere. It isn't too convenient for the M6 cars to have a drink there.

The flip out/top secret holder is great. Perfect for bigger cups, havn't had one tip yet. But I probably drive saner than you guys The back ones are great too for me, if I have a passenger. The middle one is useless unless I'm parked eating somewhere. Gotta shift somehow.. lol it's usually empty. change goes in the ashtray.

lol the day i got my '97 I was going through it and saw the back cup holders and got excited. I was like "Oh **** that's right, I have LS1 interior!" Then i looked where the secret one should be and was like "SWEEET!!" My dad said "What?" I looked and said "cup holders that are useful!!" he thought i was nuts rofl

The two back ones are useless execpt for the little round air freshners, I mean come on when was the last time you had TWO people ride in the back and be comfortable enough to worry about the correct place to put their drinks? The one in the middle holds the ipod ( until I hit it with my arm while shifting ) By the way I want to meet the genius who thought that it would be a good idea to put that there in the M6s. I do use the flip one for water bottles even though it drives my boyfriend crazy ( he has this strange hate for them and starts to bitch the minute I reach for it ).

And yes I think I have to tell my boyfriend to take his arm off the center console everytime I have to reach in there and get my sunglasses.

I only have two cupholders... I use em too. WHY didn't gm put the door panal one on the drivers side too? That would have been perfect. I use the spare change holder for my spare change, and my ashtray for my Ipod. I use the driverside door panal for my wallet/cell/sunglasses, the center console is full of cleaning supplys and air freshner spray, glove box has the owners manual, insurance papers, and headunit paperwork in it, and I use the rear passangerside seat for my cd bible, and what ever I get in a store goes into the rear driverside seat, I have a lot of **** in my car right now, its sickning to me, yet when ever anyone getsinto my car they are like " man, this so so clean " lol... Oh yea, I have a floor jack, two jack stands, 1 jug of coolent, a rear end gasket, and a socket set, along with a few stray cd's in the t-top well..

The center cupholder sucks, but I use it, I just grandma drive...
