My car came with the oem armrest... No extra charges but if they cost 400$, they aren't worth it for sure.

I'm tall and sit with the seat all the way back. The most natural position was with my right elbow riding on the narrow plastic of the center console. It just wasn't comfortable for me. The things I like about the OEM one it that it is the exact same height as the armrests that are molded into the door panels and looks proper for our cars.

My car my rules. No drinks allowed!

I bought mine for $180 from a Toyota parts seller through Amazon. The person who paid $400 was probably paying not only for the part, but for the dealership to install it.

I have an eight hour drive coming up Monday. A "no drinks" policy would make my life very uncomfortable and possibly dangerous, as I sometimes need the caffeine to remain between the lines.

Certainly, no drink rules would be dangerous. We need to do what we need to do to keep ourselves safe and focus on driving. That could be like coffee fix, a smoke fix whatever makes you comfortable.

However I have a no food rule in my car haha.

I dunno if the 2015 model is different, but I think we all have a drink holder in the door that is clearly labeled as such. I can't put a large soda in there but that's not a bad thing. Coffee fits fine for me. Travel mugs too.

With harnesses, and honestly without before since I'm awkwardly tall, the center cup holder is a huge joke and way too far back if you're using the cigarette port to charge a phone (usb is way too slow)

Another armrest thread. There must be at least 10 of them here, so what's one more. So I'll post this again.

Read about it here:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71538

I sent the vendor a pic of how the the elastic bands stretch after only a couple of months use and he refunded my money and told me to keep the armrest.

It isn't bad, kind of just sits there.
A lot better then having nothing.
This looks mighty comfy.

Still researching this.
An armrest of some sort would be a good idea.
This is a good informative thread - thanks.
