WestMich 89 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have had my 89 Reatta for a short time and enjoy driving it on trips, but have been a bit frustrated looking for someplace around the drivers seat to put my coffee or soda. Anyone know of a good solution to the lack of cupholders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I use the fold down cup holders. Look in the sporting department at Walmart. About $5.00 ea. I mounted then on the passenger side near the fuse box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padgett Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have a "Euro Jr." from the house of Walton velcro'd to the ash tray lid. Been there since 2001 except when I need power. Of course I do not smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daveagain909 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have in each of my 90 reatta's a double cup holder I buy from walmart it costs about $5. it has 2 cup holders and a square slot in between the 2 cup holders that I use to hold my cell phone. They are black and if you are lucky you can find a tan plastic one. it slides between the passenger seat base cushion and the center consol. works great but the cup holders could be a little deeper , but still works ok. I would recommend them. Cheap, works well, and not bad looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Have one in my Fiero which has no other space but is somewhat intrusive into the passenger hip area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have a 2 hole power strip mounted above where the drivers knee is [under the dash way to the front]. With the 2 upholders mounted bt the fuse box and a coin holder mounted to the front side of the console storage bin, most everything is addressed. Oh and I put the cell phone in the fold of the passenger front seat at the thigh support... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewlawe Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 After trying several cupholders over the years(somementioned above), I finally used JWC's design whichI find the most satisfactory.Regardsmatthewlawe89 White/Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWC Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I too was frustrated with other design so I made my own, and have put them in all the Reatta's I have owned and never had any problems with this design, I did have someone give feed back where his wife somehow stepped on it and broke it. Glad to hear you like it and use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CL_Reatta Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I made my own that goes into the ashtray, but I use a fold up one that adjusts to cup size in the miata $10 at west marine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewlawe Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yes, I am <span style="text-decoration: underline">very</span> pleased with it.. The size of the cupopenings can be modified to suit one’s needs. Ithank you for sharing the plans with the groupsome years ago. And when my wife needs to geta “leg over”, I request her not to step on it. Yet, itis sturdy enough to do so….

Guest DTerry Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 daveagain909:I use the same one. It's called "The Wedgie". Got it at WalMart. It's simple, cheap, works well, and you can pull it out and throw it in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
