Noob. '12 EX-L. ?? on gadgets

Howdy all! Test drove the Accord and the Civic yesterday. Liked the Civic so much, we bought two.

Mine is a silver EX-L. The other one, which should be ready for delivery on Monday, is an EX, Cool Mist.

I'm downsizing from a minivan (Chrysler T&C), and I've been driving a van of one brand or another for YEARS. Now that the kids are getting older (and starting to drive), we decided that we could do without the van and take advantage of some primo gas mileage.

So far, I really like the vehicle, but I'm having one problem: Getting used to a LOT less area to put stuff.

So, I ask of you, what are some gadgets you have purchased, installed, and used, to help you cope with things like sunglasses, coinage, cell phones, and such?

I visited a couple of stores tonight, like WallyWorld, and was sorely disappointed with the lack of variety and quality. My next visit is to some of the auto parts stores in the area. Sometimes, though, I know that some of you with experience have found certain gadgets that fit the needs of this particular vehicle pretty well. I'm looking to take advantage of your experience. I'm not opposed to ordering online from reputable retailers.

I look forward to reading many of your posts, and learning from all of you. Have a Happy Easter!

Put your glasses and phones in the armrest??

Civics dont have as much room and compartments as a van. It never bothered me though; phone goes in the cup holder and the glasses go in the armrest.

The armrest is already filled with stuff. Gum, cloth for my glasses, and other things. See the problem is, I have enough room up front for MY stuff. However, when the Mrs. is riding with me, we need room for her sunglasses and things. The cupholders are almost always filled with large Diet Cokes (when she's with me).

I looked at some of those brackets/holders for cell phones that either attach in the vent, or on the dash. Not sure I want to use either, especially the vent. I wouldn't mind one on the dash if I knew it actually worked well.

Have to go pick up the other new Civic tomorrow afternoon. I'll run this past my sales guy and see what he might recommend.
