Cupholder
What's the best cupholder for a c5? I purchased one that looked great,had a place for the phone and everything.Barely holds a credit card and you have to be a contortionist to get to the cup.It fits on the hump just below the waterfall.I want to make sure it will hold a normal sized water bottle or medium coffee. What are your suggestions. Thanks much

There a few different options in the 3D printed part sticky. I think the double one would probably suit your needs well.

I got this one shortly after my '03 purchase. I have been very happy with it.
Mine is actually the light-colored one that matches the Shale interior of my 50th Anniversary Edition.

I like it so much, I also bought one for my C7Z. A simple design that works great.

Yeah, but after 20 years (C5) and 7 years C7Z), I don’t really feel it. They didn’t cost that much then. Good luck with your choice.
