Armrest?

[ledjar]

so i was looking at the photos on the ford webpage and noticed there's no arm rest in any of the photos. Is this true? cause it'd be a huge bummer not to have one.

Search the forum for "armrest".

I asked the same question in my thread titled "New Guy" the other day, and got some good answers.

Armrest is the death of a good console. Even with the automatic I am currently driving, I hit it with my elbow shifting into drive. Its too far back to have any real use. I logged just about 18k miles on a Fiesta and never once wished it had an armrest, only rejoiced in the fact that it did not. They get in the way, always a collection point of crap that makes noise over bumps, and are too far away from the steering wheel to actually function as an arm rest while driving. The ergonomics are so outstanding in the Fiesta, there is zero fatigue in your arms after a long drive. The diameter and placement of the steering wheel are perfect.

@ Marc - Do you know anything about the pricing of that?

Sorry, I just found it on Sam (who was just here on the forum)'s Twitter!

There are a number of Fiesta armrests on eBay UK. Not sure how they will work with the redesigned US console. If you are interested in one, eBay might be a good option to start looking.

I never have a need for an arm rest. Most people I see driving use the arm rest to hold their elbow while they text and drive.

I think that it depends on your body dimensions. Personally, I love a center armrest. And I don't text. My Ranger FX4 has one and I added one to my Yaris. The Ranger armrest was way too high for me when it was new and I ended up cutting & re-welding the mount to lower it to the top of the console.
