Open it every chance i get, def worth the $900. Put it this way, if you have a 60 month loan its only 15$ a month extra. (yes i know there is tax and interest, but that gives you a gen idea)

I have one, but could live without it. It is nice to have on those nice days when my wife and I are just out driving for fun. And I do think that the Camaro looks good with it open. Also it does seem to be a solid trouble free option. No leaks, squeaks, or rattles. Hoplfuly it stays that way. If I did not have one, I would be OK with that, but then there would be those times when I wish that I had one.

Have one, love it. Also it is a great way to vent the heat out of the cabin during our hot summers here in Texas

Absolutely personal preference. That said. there are DEFINITELY pros and cons. You get to decide which is more important to you:

Major Pros for Sunroof:
1) Extra sunlight (that ****pit can be very dark.)
2) Open, it does seem the interior is bigger.
3) Wind in your hair (or over your bare scalp, Ebbsnflows) ;-)
4) Let's heat out of the cabin if left cracked.

Major Cons for Sunroof:
1) Costs $900.
2) Removes reverse mohawk.
3) Less headroom.
4) Possible leaks/rattles.

Which sounds better to you? If you're still not sure, try to drive one with and one without.

Me? Luv my sunroof and use it pretty much every day in Spring/Summer/Fall that I can get away with it. Even on hot summer days, it's usually in the high 60s/low 70s in the morning on my drive in to work here in Colorado. It does stay pretty much shut from November though March though.

I hear rattling pretty often, so it means I have mine open alot!

I'm a big fan of sunroofs and was gonna get a coupe with that option. I was about ready to order it when tried a convertible and changed my mind. It seems so much more open even with the top up.
I think that T-Tops would be killer on the coupe though!

Absolutely love mine. Have it open any chance I get. Between the light and the light gray interior, I don't have any of the claustrophobic feel I had when I test drove one with a black interior without one. Also, I'm only 5'3" so the headroom wasn't an issue. Hubby is 6'3" and he does notice the little difference, but he doesn't drive often enough for it to be a real factor. Ordered my car and made sure it was checked off. Worth every penny to me.

I use mine all the time I am 5' 11" I drive with it open all of the time

Tom · 08-22-2012, 11:36 AM

Well worth the money. Use mine a lot and love it.

Abomb1223 · 08-22-2012, 11:40 AM

If the suns out, my sunroof is open. Love it.

jeffswhitess · 08-22-2012, 11:43 AM

LOVE THE SUNROOF!! I WOULDN'T HAVE A CAMARO WITHOUT IT!

hightower · 08-22-2012, 11:45 AM

I LOVE mine! WELL worth the price! It's so nice to pop open the sun roof and roll down the windows.

Also, the reverse mohawk looks pretty cool IMO.

Bobaloo · 08-22-2012, 11:50 AM

Ordered it and glad I did.

The interior feels more spacious with the sunroof. I love mine.
