Default Best cup holder?

Just wondering what the best cup holder you guys have found? I am looking for something really stable, and big enough for something a bit larger than a 12oz can of soda....

Get the cupholder from Girl-in-a-Box. It's the best one out there for a C5. Great product and a Forum vendor. You will love it and the Fast delivery too.

Top slides in between the carpet and the center console. The bottom rests on the carpet. Very secure and won't budge. It's well worth the $$. Would your brothers steer you wrong???

Girl-ina-Box. Got one for myself & one for a friend. They work well. And yes, the folks at the post office do give you funny looks when they look at the sender's address.

best cup holder? the stock one...oh wait. u said cup not coin....

why is it though, that we have such crappy cup holders? i really am lookin for a nice one that can be a nice looking one too. not really into the pep boys fold out stuck on clear plastic panel and wedged in the carpet style either, but at least this one does fold up and doesnt hit the passenger in the leg all the time like some of those do. oh well. guess ill just not drink and drive.....anything haha
