Cupholders have always been something of a Korean-car weak point, but Optima's are among the best I've seen. Not only are the Optima's cupholders big enough to accommodate two large drinks side by side, but they are deep enough to keep them from spilling in a sudden stop or fast turn. They're also located far enough back in the center console to be out of the way when shifting gears. Rear passengers get two cupholders in their fold-down armrest.
