I personally won't own a car that has one. I am a long legged tall bastard and having my knee constantly hitting shit tier plastic is super annoying for multiple mile road trips. Putting a shifter, cup holders, and pockets and such in a permenant plastic log between the passenger and the driver that goes all the way to the dash always seemed incredibly fucking retarded to me, especially when I remember the big benefit touted about FWD cars being the removal of 'that pesky hump that runs down the length of your car so you have more leg room'. A simple fold down armrest with pull out cup holder fits the bill fine if you want storage and a place to set your drinks and having a floor shift for an automatic is incredibly retarded in the first place when a column shifter works fine.
As an aside, try working as a first responder and pulling some poor son of a bitch out through the passenger side because the driver side is smashed to shit and see if you still like that hunk of plastic being in the god damned way when you need to keep some poor fucker from bleeding to death in his Civic's cockpit.

I really dislike em. Especially on my 7th gen Accord, not only is the center console too low to hold my arm, but it sucks when my gf is trying to cuddle while I drive and there's this stupid block in the middle. Idk what the point of center consoles is unless you're in a fuckhuge F-150 made for absolute comfort where it's actually well thought out

Damned hippies and their SJW ways sapping technological progress.

The latest gen taurus is the biggest contender for this shit. The console takes up half the damn interior
Gabriel Davis
Well you're going to have to buy a Starlet because it has the handbrake sticking out of the floor because the plastic stops right behind the shifter. You can't get more bare bones than that. Wish I had a pic, maybe I'll make one.

Fuck I hate the Ford Taurus even the interior is dooogshit

what the fuck were they thinking when they designed that radio?

One of the befits for having the bench seats in my Town Car is that it has lead to road head on multiple occasions.

Love them. They prevent any awkward contact in case of passenger and it makes it feel more like I'm climbing into a cockpit than a driver's seat.

I really hate you all.

Wouldn't ever own a car without it, gives a comfy feel, gives a lot of space to place things and have them close by. It's the only way. Also cars without console are mostyly shitboxes like picrel
John Cooper
I aint got much of an option
Dont mind them. I'm not terribly tall or fat, so its not in the way
Oliver Roberts
I'll stick with my cuddle-approved bench seats
Blake Hill
If its not too intrusive in my driving space then I mostly dont care.

where's the fugging shifter senpai?

Make road head a lot more awkward. Front bench seats are GOAT
Jose Jenkins
Seat all the way back is the perfect length and angle. I'm 6'2" Also, not really related, but if I push the passenger seat all the way back, the space between it and the divider separating the trunk space acts as a perfect cup holder/burrito holder
Zachary Baker
The Ford Taurus must have the most rigid chassis in the universe. :o

Body on frame. Problem solved.

Column shifter obviously, you can see a shadow of it.
A low slung console that stays the fuck away from my legs is okay, but unnecessary the bulk of the time. Like OP said, a fold down arm rest for storage with drink holders fits the bill fine and also opens up the front seat if I need more physical room or want a qt to slide up close for some cuddles or to lay out with her head or feet on my lap for a good snooze or to get a blow job or foot job while cruising down the road. You just can't get that with most cockpit like interiors.

>I like center consoles
Then you don't have a girlfriend
>I don't like center consoles
You either have a girlfriend or fat.
That's usually what it breaks down to. Although most fatties with not gf still like a center console to hold all their road snacks and shit.

Time to stop posting on the internet for a while. Get some coffee. Take a shower, and chill.
