I heard the early C5 were a bit of a POS, henk may know more... I had a run in with Pug 406 Coupe owner the other day in the city, he thought he needed 2 1/2 loading zone bays, I pulled up behind him and gave him a beep to move up so I could park in the loading zone... he gets out his car and comes to my window and tells me he wants the 2 1/2 bays because his car is exotic and he wants to make sure no-one parks in front or behind himI was having a shitty day and told him in fairly colourful terms that his 15 grand Pug actually wasnt that exotic and that the commercial van I was driving was worth twice what his exotic Coupe was. End result was he moved up so I could park, I walked away with a smile and he got back in his car with a slightly dented ego
So dont buy a Pug Nota or you may change into a self important euro snob like the above Pug owner
I do like the looks of the 406 coupe though, very nicely porportioned vehichle IMHO
