I've found you can safely place a McDonalds 'large' drink in the front section of the door pocket. But you may wish to drink it about an inch or so down before setting off When I say safely, I use that term quite loosely! But a proper cup holder would be useful, in fact I noticed on many US versions of the Mk3 Golf, they have a rubber mould that sits in the centre console cubby hole with cut outs for two cups!!! Genius. I wonder if we can get hold of the part number? - anyone...?!
