My wife is looking for something to make the center console cupholders more suitable for regular plastic water bottles. I've seen that Subaru has created a "fix", but it doesn't appear to be much better. Can anyone with the improved insert comment on its usefulness? Thanks in advance.

If you find the stock setup too big then I think you will find the Subaru insert pretty spot on. It makes just as much difference as it should. Narrower and taller. That said some larger bottles may not fit. The insert doesn’t have a huge range. But big stuff fits in the doors so it’s fine by me.

No problems here,keep in mind there are rubber bumps that compress to allow for some larger cups/bottles.May not be perfect for some but it works for me and wifey.If anything bottles in the doors make more of a racket but only going over bumps/potholes.

Let's say I was more excited for the improved cup insert than I was waiting for the Limited in 2018, and it has worked well at least 90% of time (e.g. plastic bottle, mug, glass, water container).

Regardless, no need to "fact-check"...lol. For $15, it's worth a shot.
