Driver's side only and it's undersized.
Why can't they make a full sized console armrest that you can actuallu "rest" your arm on rather than "balance" your arm on a narrrow beam?

Under the armrest could then be used for concealed storage.

They have one, but it is offered as an accessory for $180.

So I guess you should have checked your facts before you made that highly sarcastic comment, huh?

My guess is they had issues as on the RSX...the parking brake would get in the way of a full armrest/storage, and it costs more. Maybe has something to do with the refresh seating feature as well?

If upon my sitting in one and feeling that the armrest is comfy and ergonomic, I'll be happy.

I forgot my car didn't have an armrest... With your hands at 10 and 2 (or 9 and 3) you really don't use the armrest much.
