Look at all the angry drivers that are pissed off just because they can't put their pint somewhere accessible ... :D ... personally I find the small compartment to the left of the steering wheel (LHD car) just perfect for a 0,5 L plastic bottle ... it's not once that I've witnessed how the coffee spills even out from the supposedly tightly closed carton cups (coffee-to-go) ... if it doesn't have a screw-top cap, forget about it ...

LOL....congrats mate, you will enjoy it.
Get a flip down cup holder, down and just forward of the gear stick on the passenger side does fine for me.

The spec on these are something else and it will take me long enough just learn to work everything before I position my cup holder.

But I must admit I am spring water man with a screw top in the side door pocket.

I honestly don't know why all the hate towards the non-hydractive X7 ... :D ... it works just fine, like all the other cars, the engine starts on ignition, and the doors can be locked ...

I first drove an X7 a couple of months ago.. a sprung one..drove really nice!!
I now have a non sprung one, and having issues with it.. it feels really bad!!
I will get to the bottom of it for sure ,,, soon.. ish....

I think I am finding problems where non have found them before..

I will nick stickfingers car soon when he isn't looking, so I can compare them..
