: No place for spare change?

Just took my Volt to the drive through for the first time, got my change back and went to through it in the ash tray and realized the Volt doesn't have one. Minor detail...but still, would be nice to have a place for the spare change.

On top of the dash is a little pop up bin, and there is a bin behind the center console...

The pop up on top of the dash is quite large, I wouldn't want to put spare change in there. That one is more for sunglasses or cell phones (there's a charge port). The center console has a separated area, but again far too large and deep to be wasted on spare change. Just wish there was a small "ash tray" size area for the "take a penny, leave a penny" spot.

There is an optional ash tray available that makes use one of the cup holders. Does the center armrest open?

Yeah, I think I'll end up going with something like this:

I'm using the little shelf in the back of the center armrest console. I have a bunch of change in there now and it seems to be staying put while driving and I'm not hearing any noise from it. when the console is open, there is a little depression/shelf toward the back of the compartment. So far, working well for me.

Thanks...I decided to use the same area, but I have a small canvas zippered coin purse that I threw it in. Not sure why I didn't think of that before. Works quite well, also I can just grab the coin purse if I need to take it into the store or something. Much easier than lugging around an ash tray into the 7-11.

You could also use the driver door handle indentation...not perfect but will do.
