10 year milestone

Piper1 · 03-30-2021, 07:49 PM

So having my pre facelift for 10 years, 11/02 m/y assembly date as I’m 3rd owner, now at 108k and change for miles, now bumped my head after putting the lower trim panel that’s above your legs when sitting on....cup holder yep you might guess the simplest most notorious piece of plastic on our cars to break.....broke 😆 can’t believe it took this long

Wowie - ten years on a cup holder may be a new milestone....my 07 purchased by me in 10 had broken cup holders by 14.

SO great to hear you have 6 digit mileage and its alive and well.

Well I've had it 10 years but unless the previous 2 owners had it replaced pre 60kmiles which wasn't on the carfax if it was when I got it, who knows it might've been the original to the car, just happened to break on me at my 10years with it lol.

I still have both of my original cup holders. I also have the blanks to put in place if/when they do break...

My cupholders aren’t broken. At least I don’t think so. I don’t use them; they were never any good. Ultimate Cupholders, people! Just do it.
