Anyone have advice on this topic 2012 2LT anniversary package pros and cons of the sunroof in this car.

Sunroof = no reverse mohawk

RANGERGOD · 03-23-2012, 02:03 PM

I wish I got the sunroof in mine...

RubyCamaro · 03-23-2012, 02:06 PM

How tall are you. Sunroof = less head room. Personally, I love my reverse mohawk. But hubby likes his sunroof.

sstnt · 03-23-2012, 02:10 PM

Absolutely a personal decision. I am 6'2", and don't have any problem with headroom (more than in any Camaro) having a sunroof. Others say it really makes a negative difference for them. You HAVE to sit in a Camaro both with and without adjust the seat, and see.

I know with the black interior, it makes a big difference in the amount of light I get in the cabin. And I love opening it on a sunny day to let the sunlight and wind in.

The reverse mohawk is cool...but I can see and use the sunroof. What use (other than aesthetics) is the mohawk?

So there you have it, in a nutshell. Sit in the car...if you have no headroom with the sunroof, so without. It it's ok...then step 2:

Do you absolutely LUV the mohawk and can't live without it? Go without the sunroof. If you don't care either way about it...go with the sunroof. You won't regret it!

Moonroof was a must on my list.

camaroGOODMAN · 03-23-2012, 02:12 PM

my first camaro did not have a sunroof and i thought i was in love with the reverse mohawk.

until i got my SS with a sunroof and realized i've been missing out on all that breeze and sunlight lol.

im 6'2" and the height of the roof is only an issue if im wearing a hat

The SwiftChancelor · 03-23-2012, 02:12 PM

I love having the sun roof especially on a sunny day. Never had one on previous cars but I had T-tops on my Firebird and always liked it then.

TwistedEnergy · 03-23-2012, 02:14 PM

i love my sunroof, wasn't even a consideration to not get one. I'm 6'0 and have lots of room. and i love how the car looks from the outside when the sunroof is in the vent position

Grandeos · 03-23-2012, 02:16 PM

NO SUNROOF!!! Looks way better in my opinion with the reverse mohawk design feature.
I love the reverse mohawk even better on the interior. Give it a much sportier feel in my personal opinion.

And the extra headroom is nice too. AND, you save yourself about $1000.

woodj · 03-23-2012, 02:16 PM

My V6 had one. Noisiest sunroof when opened I have ever experienced. I'd advise driving one with the sunroof open before you decide.

ChiTownSS · 03-23-2012, 02:16 PM

I have no Sunroof and love the look of the reverse mohawk... I say no to the roof...

SSGUNNER · 03-23-2012, 02:26 PM

Never liked sunroof. Never had one either. Over the yrs they crap and are a pita.

LONEWO1F · 03-23-2012, 02:26 PM

I have to say I did not like the sunroof. I would advise as above that you drive with one open before you decide! Also, I am only 6 foot but I have a very long torso and the sunroof makes you lose a ton of head room! Also of course the reverse mohawk looks awesome. It's a matter of opinion just make sure you drive one with and without the sunroof... and open it while cruising before you make your decision! Good choice on car though, you will not regret it!!!!
