You sure it is not the CD player? ;-)

We're not! I've never used a cupholder in a car!

Re: 2002 A4 cupholder
 

if you had a dunkin donuts on your way into work, you would!

the cup holder is really for my wife, who likes to stop and get coffee
on the road whenever we're going somewhere together.

but anyway -- the cup holder wouldn't hold a dixie cup the way it's
operating right now. it's about a quarter of an inch deep, so it gives
no lateral support.

Re: 2002 A4 cupholder
 

My cupholder pops out, and a small tray unfolds underneath it, giving
about 2 inches depth from bottom of tray to top side of cupholder frame.
Definitely not enough to hold a bottle of water going around a turn at
higher speed, which, after all, is what I got an Audi for.

So instead, the water bottle sits next to me on the left hand side,
tucked inside the seatbelt so that it butts up against my hip. Gatorade
bottles work too, almost anything that's capped. It's easy to reach
when I'm stopped at a light.
