I've spent hours in the car, but didn't use the armrest once. But then again, I don't use the armrest in the current car either.

It didn't seem any wider, and again seems more set back (like the pre July 05 cars) than curved out (as with the more recent vehicles). It's always seemed (and been used) more as a grab handle than an armrest to me. The other arm is the gear changing arm, so the one on the door side is for holding the wheel.
