i don't personally remember manual chokes(im 27) but my dad told me about them. as for the cupholders, in my 99csvt the right one holds an airfreshener that fits perfectly. the left holds the small mic for auto tuning my head unit. i find them worthless for anything else. as for drinks....the barrels i drink out of are too big to fit any where but the passenger, seat belted in so as not to fall during a quick stop. if im on a trip then i use a 1L or 1.5L bottle of water and place it between the seat and the door. fits perfectly.
