No problem with mine, other than I don't like it. If it's enabled, you can hear the door locks locking and unlocking as you walk around the car. I just turned mine off on the fob, so it works like any other remote unlock vehicle.

Hi mnfmkf -
I would not avoid a car with the passive feature - you can simply turn it off if you don't like it
Like Gordon, I turned ours off the first day and never turned it back on.

I turned mine off too. You have to get the fob (key) out to turn on the car anyways.
Now the new C6 is worth it. I have intellgent key on my 2006 Nissan Murano, you can open car doors and start the car with the fob in your pocket. I thought it would be a gimick, but I really like it.

When I bought my '98, over 8 years ago, I simply turned off the passive mode and it's been fine ever since. Don't let the passive mode keep you from buying a early year C5. Good luck....

one of the c5 secrets, If you have the passive entry feature: If you lock the keys in the car, wait a few minutes and then shake the car. That will unlock the car.
