Cup Holders Too Small

Hi,
I've had my new Honda Fit LX for 1 whole day now. Yeah!


Has anyone found a way to install larger cup holders in the 2015 FIT? My wife carries a Gatorade Sport Bottle everywhere she goes and it won't fit in the Fit's cup holders (no pun intended). The Gatorade Bottles are about 2 7/8 inch in diameter. Has anyone tried the larger cup holders that fit between the console and the seats? Search Amazon for "Custom Accessories 91125 Black Seat Wedge Cup Holder".


Thanks
Ken

Why was said Gatorade bottle not present during the test drive? Gotta keep your electrolyte levels up.

lol well Gatorade bottles are pretty big. I don't know any car's cupholders that they fit into. At least none of the cars i've had.

I know they have those adapter like things you put in the existing cupholders for bigger cups/bottles.

Like these guys:
Large Cup Cup Holder

Edit:

BOOM

I have never used cup holders to hold cups in any of my cars. Just too messy.

Gatorade bottles are too big for all cupholders as mentioned before. How long would a soda can remain upright in a cupholder fit for a bottle of Gatorade?

That said...cupholders are dumb. Just drive.

My problem is that my wine glasses keep falling over in the cup holder, but there is a product that solves that:

Cup Holder

Not only are the cup holders small but for the passenger they are in the wrong place. I installed a nice stainless steel cup holder for the wife on the passenger side you can get them from Amazon

Amarine-made Stainless Steel Adjustable Folding Drink Holders Marine/boat/caravan/car

I mounted it on the passenger side of the center console down from and forward of the shift lever. The console is made of a thick plastic type material and best I could tell there are no wires behind it to worry about. I carefully drilled holes and then used #6 X 3/8 inch sheet metal screws blunt tip. I installed it last August and it works well it will take a three inch diameter container.
