for us pre-98's we have the new cupholder. I just bought
it from the ford store with the new bezel for about 50. $48.88 to be exact. It was a MUCH more snug fit but I just gave a light (ok maybe a hard one) smack and it went in. These are different in the fact that they don't snap up. You pull up and push to the side. I think I can get a large or maybe even super size drink in there. I've only gotten mediums so far and they fit fine with a little room to spare.
And before the cupholder. I always got the drinks from the fast food places. Drank it, put it between my legs and when I didn't need (yes need) anymore, I poored it out and put the empty container in the bag. (I used to have an eclipse 1st gen with no cupholders. I spilled hella large amounts of soda in it. Lessons learned...) With 20ozs, I just shut the door and stuck them to my left side. Between the door and the seat. Perfect fit and easy access.
