One of the disadvantages to owning a Japanese import is that the Japanese, along with the Germans, do not understand the vital importance of cupholders. The Dykemobile has only two, and they are extremely small.

Saturday, Tammie and I bought a selection of travel mugs, aka to-go cups, to replace those of ours that have become separated from their lids, or whose lids have ceased to seal properly. The new mugs are very pretty and very nice to hold, they seal well, and all of them take the same lids.

However, at all of 2-3/4" base diameter, they do not fit in the Subaru's cupholders. Sigh.

Isn't that why they invented the ones with the really wide bases that will sit on your dash? This coming from the woman that owned a Caravan that is notorious for 11ty-billion cup holders! :)

I seem to recall seeing a cup holder adapter specifically addressing that problem. Lemme see what I can google.

Maybe one of these?

The problem is not Japanese imports; it's Subaru.

You have seen the cupholders in the Prius. There are four of them, they are large and roomy, and they fold out of the way when not in use.

Possible they've improved since the '02 model year, too. *shrug* It made a better post this way.

You have a Lesbaru. I didn't know. :-)

I waved while I was in KC (getting con-married to 7 newbies; more later); did you notice?

Yeah, kinda. I saw you blogging from the con.
