Sunroof?

So I'm having a hard time deciding if the sunroof is worth it or not...I don't like the way it looks when it's open and I think the reverse Mohawk looks cooler...but it is a nice feature to have.

What were your reasons for ordering/not ordering a sunroof?

It's jast as simple as the poll. I like the roof better without. Sun roofs are overrated. jmo

I've had them plenty and I can't ever remember driving down the road looking up.

I ordered with one. I've had T-Top Camaros in the past, my most recent vehicles all have had a sunroof. I like the additional light as well as the open air. I'm 6'1" and not worried about the height at all.

I ordered one. I won't own a vehicle without one. Having that extra light/air on nice days is great. Even on non-nice days, it's nice to crack the windows and pop the sunroof up to get fresh air circulating.

I ordered one on my 2LT/RS, I also have one on of my other cars, a Dodge Magnum R/T. In the morning I love to open it up on my way to work, nice getting the fresh air early in the morning. I have about a ten minute drive to work. You should add to your survey a place to vote for liking and/or getting the Sunroof.

I wish I could have one. I've always wanted one, and cost/availability has always prevented it. Someday I will have a car with a sunroof.

When I get one no way it will have a sunroof. They are cool on other peoples cars but not mine. It is a waste of money, although if I could get a great price on one with sunroof better than one without I would sure. I won't pay extra for it or select it when I order one. I had to go through hell to find a 2005 Bonneville SLE without a sunroof and leather but with N87 chrome wheels! Alas I did! I don't like the fact they cut out head room, don't like the way they look open on the Camaro, had a friend that had a leaky one, adds extra weight, and why would I pay extra for a hole in my roof? So if I can avoid it my Camaro will not have one, nor any of my next cars. **Unless it used or cheaper than one without it!**

I ordered one, but I am now rethinking because of the loss of the reverse mohawk. I never thought about that when buying. Does anyone have a picture with the sunroof where you can see the whole roof?? I am not sure if my order got picted yet, it was put in on 3/18/09.

Being that I'm 6'6", I couldn't get a sunroof because of headroom issues. I really liked T-tops, though. Too bad there isn't a targa option.

I ordered a sunroof, my civic has one my jeep grand cherokee had one, the minute the weather is nice it opens probably before or at the same time my hand reaches to put the actual window down it reaches to open the sunoof. I not sure I am in love with the open look from the outside of the car but when its open and I'm driving I don't see that view and when i am outside of the car admiring it the sunroof will most certainly be closed. I love the open air and the flow of air windows down and sunroof creates. I searched for reverse mohawk and just don't see what all the fuss is about, in pictures its barely visible and then I did find people saying much more noticeable in person. I just don't get it. Never had a convert. and don't think i would want one very few cars look right with top up and down as compared to their hardtop version(my opinion). I guess for me sunroof is next best thing, I'm 5'11 or 6ft so shouldn't be a head room isssue head almost touches ceiling in civic.

Actually, I can remember plenty of clear nights driving down the interstate and seeing all the stars, which I seem to love. It's especially awesome, when I park somewhere with my girl. If you catch my drift
