Regarding awkward access: my wife's 2020 Subaru Forester has two cup holders side-by side on the center console just to the right of the driver's right elbow. To make it worse, the padded rectangular lid to a little cargo compartment slightly overhangs the cup holders. The lid cannot be slid back.
Bottom line: the only way I've found for the driver to safely - sort of safely - use a cup holder in her car is to reach across with the left arm/hand. At least that way you're approaching the cup holder from the front and not from directly above. Also avoids jamming the right elbow backwards.
Looks like the left hand cross-over technique would work with this thread's cup holder arrangement. Maybe a bit of a torso twist, but what the heck? Don't reach for the strawberry shake in a decreasing radius corner.

My thought exactly. Reach under your right arm with your left hand, grab the drink, and enjoy.[This message has been edited by IMSA GT (edited 07-22-2023).]

Haha, yes you do have to reach, but it's not that bad. Maybe I'm still young, lol, but it's basically like reaching my right elbow with me left hand. I can do it whole driving a manual without a lot of effort. I'm also tall and lanky.

there is the ash tray drop in cup holder that is pretty nice. I have made an addon to it allowing the ash tray area to hold a cell phone. If someone is looking for something specific for cup holders and shifter area i might be able to help. That console piece is cool just hard to reach for it. I have another design that cameron rose is testing for me adding cup holders in front of the shifter area. It screws into your current shifter plate. If you have a manual shift place i can reprint those too. The automatic shift plate is much harder to replicate.

Today I finished and tested my glovebox which has 3 printed cupholders in the backside of the glovebox door. To me it is good to not see them when I don't need them and I had space for them in the door. Not hard to reach with my long arms.

Does anyone have the files for printing the rear mounted cup holders?

I'm pretty sure cup holders were intentionally left out of the Fiero interior design on purpose.
They don't fit the whole concept of a midengine sports car.
The bottle holder between the seat and the door makes a lot more sense.
