I prefer my armrest up. I am not short at all but it just seems to feel perfect with the rest up so i can rest my forearm and hand on it.
How about you guys??

...unless I have a tall bottle in the cup holder. In that case it goes up so my arm goes over the bottle without touching it.

 

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to poll this!!!

Up! It just doesn't feel right when it's down. Maybe its because my last car was a 5 speed, and I rested my elbow on the center console to shift.

 

i like it down... its at the perfect height to keep my arm on it and my hand on the shifter... i like driving that way even though its an auto...

but i hate it when my elbow accidently hits the button thing to make it go up... that sucks...

happends to anyone else?

 

and I have trained my elbow to "NOT DO THAT ANY MORE"!!!

 

Down...

 

I got long arms......

 

You've just hit on my major gripe about the interior. I could do without an armrest completely, as it's just in my way and it's as noisy as the A-pillar rattles.

I wish I could just remove the whole thing, storage compartment and all.

 

hey wtf, i didn't even get an armrest with the up/down option. must not come with the po-man's maxima.

 

i thought all maximas get height adjustable armrest......or do they?

 

when i first bought it up
but now down
hehe

 

all the way

 

up.

base gxe's dont get this cool fuction. gxe w/ c&c's and all other models get it tho.

 

Up. I have an auto. It seems like it would be difficult to shift a manual if it were up.

As for it rattling, mine rattled, too, when I had CD's and change in there. It was the contents and not the arm rest.

 

Up and down. When I'm in a crusisng relax stage, the armrest goes up, but when I'm driving fast I have it down, cuz it gets in the way. heheheh It's not like I do any shifting since I have an auto, but it stays down when I'm going fast.

 

Up, where my entire arm rests on it, comfortably!

 

gets in the way too easily when up.

 

Down, don't really like it that much either. It took me a month to realize that that part of the armrest flips up seperately for additional storage. Its where I head the weed. J/K.

 

Down, because mine seems to have become unlockable and falls with the greatest of ease. No bother though.

 

I just think it is one of the best feature that I have ever seen! UP!

 

It seems to a perfect height, both to rest my arm and to have it in position for shifting.

With my wife's automatic, it seems simpler to keep it down.

 

I put it up sometimes and put it down...just depends on how I feel like sitting that day...

 

For better aerodynamics.

 

I HAVE LONG ARMS

 

I too have trained my elbow not to hit the button anymore, at first I thought that would get real annoying but it never seems to happen anymore. I only put it up when i'm cruising on the highway for a long time and don't have to shift.

 

i find it to be way too high when up - but my seat is lowered all the way, and i'm fairly tall.

 

On more than one occasion I've wanted to rip that freakin thing out...

 

Down-still hit the button on occasion(after a year)

 

down ... feels just right when my hand rests on the shifter while driving. I hit the button sometimes too.

 

DOWN !!!! accidentally up every now and then..

 

I am average height and my arm is MUCH more comfortable with it up (I have an auto). I think it's great although I agree that the contents inside rattle a lot. Oh, well - I'll just put more CD;s in to keep them from moving around.

 

If I have it up I'll stare at it at the light. It will bug the heck outa me. Down is the way to go
