Is the armrest too small???

on my 2k2 si/ex coupe the armrest came standard and i think its too short. i'm 5'9 and to be comfortable on the seat while driving i can't rest my arm and hold the wheel at the same time. its useless unless i drive with left arm. after so much left hand driving my left arm is feeling tired even though i'm not driving.

ya the armrests are pieces of crap, something else Honda can charge us for, no point in using it cause my arm can't fit comfortably on it. The thing is just too small

My arm fits ok I just don't like the fact that you can't adjust. I kinda pimp a little and the armrest sticks up in the air somewhat! That's what pisses me off. Well, that and when a passenger decides that I should share it!

Yeah... damn passengers think that they can share MY armrest. Passengers are not worthy of an armrest!!!! I like MY armrest. It'll be even better when I get it covered with some nice supple leather.... mmmmmm....

I love the armrest. I always have my arm on it but every once in a while somebody will put it up and then I get in my car and go to put my arm on it and sorta fall because it's not there. it's kinda embarassing but oh well. The cloth on it's kinda gettin' wore out already too.

I'm thinking of taking mine off...the thing is useless; too small and interferes with shifting![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
