2006 Ford Focus ZX5

Ford makes up for the utter lack of center console storage by giving the Focus a good-sized glovebox, a CD holder in the lower left dash panel, and an overhead console for sunglasses and a garage door remote control. The front door bins are also a good size, and they contain integrated bottle holders. Cupholders have liners for removal and easy cleaning, and there's a pen holder. The center armrest does have a shallow tray that could hold a cell phone or iPod. Rear seat riders get a single cupholder and a pocket on the front passenger's seatback.
