Default Two cup holders??

I have an 2003 X type that has two cup holders. I know there has been quite a few people that have complained about only having one. What year did they have two, and what year was there only one?

I've never used more than one cupholder in my car - and I'm married with two kids.

My 02 has 1 in the front and 2 in the back. I can live with 1 but I wish it had 2.

My 05 has 2 in the center console.

They're awfully small though. Few containers will actually fit in.

I'm not sure whether it was 2004 or 2005 when they added an additional cupholder, but in 2003 they definitely had one. Previous owner probably made the swap.

You will have to search the salvage yards for a 2004 or later console and swap it out.

You might try this place http://nationwideautorecycling.com

I've seen 06's and such with the E-brake on the left and 2 cup holders. I've been looking on eBay for quite some time now for a new center console with 2 cup holders. Most of the ones are from the UK so they have the E-brake on the right. In the US they did make 2 cup holder versions with the E-brake on the left though.

There's one on ebay now that's described as a late 2003 model with 2 holders in Sand color. Buy it now $130

I guess I have a late model '03 with two cup holders. Can anyone tell me how to determine a late model from an early model from the VIN or otherwise?

Dude, I am from Dallas, my 2002 only had one so I went to a junkyard and bought a black one with 2 cupholders for like 100 bucks... it definitly looks WAY better with my grey interior than the original, plus it has like silver trim around them that add a little style... as far as install, it fit perfect for me, the only draw back is the 2 cup holders are a little smaller than the one large one. The "double" cupholders are fitted for like cans, I can push a 20 oz down a little and it doesnt budge... worked for me and looks 20X better haha
