cup holders

does anyone have any idea what ford was thinking when they installed the giant cup holder in the escape?
i have to stuff napkins in to hold my coffee cup steady.
holds a big mc donalds cup prety good though.
any clever "fixes" out there?
thanks

I guess I like big cups, mine is just the right size for a 32oz diet coke with ice. I've got a rental car right now, Escape is wrecked. A Merc Sable that has the size you want because they're too small for me. The should offer something similar to what I saw in a 2005 Tribute this weekend - a plastic insert that will fit the smaller cup sizes.

If you've got a 2005 Escape, the Tribby inserts should fit since they have the same redesigned console.

I sliced a couple of rings from a rubber can-cozy. When inserted into the cupholders, they will hold regular size cans and cups. They can be pulled out to accommodate large bottles and containers.

YOu can buy a adjustable cup holder to hold different sizes. I have one of those when I had my older car.

I have an 05 Escape and it came with the small cup insert...

Edit: Crap, I just went and looked at it... I think it is an ashtray... (My wife never lets me drive the damn thing!)

I bought at 05 model last night (02 was totaled). Yep, it has removable cup inserts.

I noticed the 05 has an "optional" warning light for "dangerous gas". I hope that's related to the hybrid and not something else...

I have the 05 too, didn't know the older cup holders are that crappy.

The 05 cup holders for the back seat passengers are still crappy, what is it suppose to hold ?
