The upper in-dash cup holder is a cruel joke. Even if you can get something to fit in there well (which you can't), it will either sweat, or spill on your expensive electronics.

It's like a manipulative Ex. Every time you give it another chance. The relationship quickly ends in "**** you! I ******* hate you!"

It works great for water bottles and such, I actually like it a lot. Even works to hold those sort of things when driving hard on canyon runs
Also I don't drink soda.

Well, I need your cup-holder then, because mine can't hold anything steady - even if it fits perfectly.

....and I don't drink soda either (mainly water).

You apparently aren't allowed to have drinks according to Audi.

Like the two little useless things that vaguely resemble something that might be used to contain a couple of cups if you think about it really hard exist. Then you realize can't hold anything unless you're driving on a runway. Like every single time I hit the apex on my way out of the Drive Thru, My XXXXXL "Diet" Coke goes flying across the interior of the car at about mach 1.

At least the cupholders aren't some flimsy spring-loaded plastic mechanism that breaks when you breathe at it wrong, I'm looking at you BMW.

Or the Volvo "Not like you need working radio and seat controls anyways" cup holders that break if you actually use them.
