Because of this, I keep it forward at all times, and never use that cup holder for anything. If I drive long enough distances that I need to drink, I use a water bottle with a spout, placed in the door bottle holder.
Ha!!! Ever been in the last of the 9-3's?? Same issue but way, way, way worse. Every passenger WITHOUT FAIL gets freaked out because it cannot be locked and it slides on them. Horrible design, just awful.
