Sunroof or no sunroof?

What do you guys think sunroof or no sunroof. Worth it?

IMO no, dont see the point of them in Australia.

But its a personal thing, if you like the look and think you will use it then get it, otherwise save your dollars, dont get it if your looking at resale as it wont mean much in the end.

i have had a sunroof in my cars for years now. i use it everyday as i like to have the extra air flow in the car, the tilt function is great for this. only when its raining is it closed.
but like all options its a personal thing.. if you think you will use it then get it, otherwise spend your money on something else.

I don't think they are exactly necessary, but along with leather does add that bit of luxury.

As mentioned it may not add much resale value, but could help sell the car over one without etc.

I'd probably get one on a 3dr but wouldn't bother on a 5dr (already paying extra for two doors) but it just comes down to personal choice.

I find people who get a sunroof use it for a few weeks and after that it hardly gets used. Its also another place to get a water leak.

I was going to say it's a bit like a pool.. Don't use it after a while.

on my mark 5 didnt get one. Like you i was thinking about it and regretted not getting one. Didnt repeat my mistake.

If you are already thinking about it you may want it more than you realise.

Its surely an emotional decision. I think the air from the roof is cleaner than that via windows in situations you want big airflow that climate control cant give eg stale air with 4 passengers after 2hr drive. Even with fresh air coming in via vents its not enough.

I like the brighter cabin and the option to see a few trees when driving through a park. Even if only peripheral vision while looking to my side briefly.

There is also an air of confidence of 'i dont give a ****' that i feel i give like people who have roof down in convertibles.

I think it adds to luxury feeling. All of these are totally irrational illogical and egotistical reasons and most people bag out my decision to get one...

But i dont care and i love it.

I have had one for the past 6 years and it's used just about daily. Really nice to get the air and light through the cabin.

Only car I wouldn't get one on is the new M3 as it'd be a crime not to have that stunning Carbon roof.
