Would like advice on an armrest

I love my new Smart Passion but think it would be more comfortable with an armrest. I am attracted to the ones that open up so there is some storage but was afraid they might make me feel cramped. What has been your experience with armrests?

Thanks

We bought the Prodigy from Smart Madness. We love it, keep phone chargers and such in the storage. It folds completely back out of the way as needed. We only move it to access the emergency brake, which in an emergency I could reach without moving the armrest but it's a bit easier.

Money well spent for us, particularly on longer drives.

I have the Genius armrest in my Brabus coupe. I am very happy with it and think it really looks "smart" in my car. I did not need the extra room in the covered type armrest. The Genius armrest is probably the most expensive unit on the market, but well worth it in my opinion.

Prodigy gives you some storage. Very solid, It is a bit of a pain for the seatbelt and brake but much nicer for long hauls.
