I have never used a cup holder in a car. I like that the 992 you can remove the silly one that goes into the center console and not have any visible cup holders. Although I prefer not having any in the car at all (like my 993 or F355).

While many of us prefer no food nor drink in the car….sometimes our passenger (ummm, our wives 👰‍♀️) have other ideas.

And as the old saying goes, “Happy wife, happy life” 👍

Very true words....unless you had the misfortune of being married to a woman who's impossible to make happy cause the opposite of that saying is very true as well. Remarkable how they can change over the years...ah well. Beverages only allowed in the beater Chevy, never anything in the Porsche besides bottled water for me.

Pretty entertaining thread about the importance of cup holder
sure use mine, may it be for water or Gatorade after the gym or the occasional coffee on way to work. Why not, its a car to be used and not a museum. Now, I never drink the fast food, big gulp drinks - they sure would not fit and that's a good thing.

Isn’t it illegal to eat and drink in your car while traveling ~200 kph on the autobahn? I don’t think cup holders are European priorities.

The 991 cupholders were the worst. The Driver's side one was directly over the console buttons for your A/C and Heater. Have a drink in there without a lid, a good bump, and the liquid saturated the controls on the subsequent spill. If a sofa or energy drink, your switches will be gummed up once dry.

992 cupholder with a manual transmission is hilarious. Anything over an 8 oz cup interferes with your shifting.

Nothing better than a cold adult beverage on the way home from the track!

Here's another option -- soon to be released. I ordered one today and will report back....

I am addicted to drinking water and therefore always have my water bottle with me, so I need a good place for it in my manual transmission 992. I'd rather not clutter up the interior, but sometimes I guess you have to choose function over form....

San Francisco is in Europe and has an Autobahn?!?

This conversation always cracks me up, any company should always take into account what their different markets priorities are.

I took the useless cup holder out and the other insert. With it wide open it fits my large coffee mug almost perfectly.

Same thing happened to me. It's the most minor of all the nits.

Open the glove box, push it back out to the usable position, or open the glove box and push it back to flush. Done.

Now drive!
