Default Quick Poll - Sunroof's

I was wondering, how many of you have Sunroofs? I got a really great deal on my 99.5 2.8QMS, from the dealer (Audi North Atlanta) everything but Conv. and Trip. What if anything am I missing, I hear the car's actually more rigid without the roof.. My previous car '98 Jetta GT had one..

Any thoughts??

Default After having a car with a sunroof...

I could never go back to not having one. I love it. Without one I feel clostrophobic (sp?).

The only drawback is that you sacrifice about an inch of headroom, so if you're really tall or plan to race it, it may not be a good idea.

Default I did not want one........

On my previous two Audis I had one. I never used it. When it was open all the way the - sun was right in my face. When it was open in "up" position - it was just noisy and no air flow. Sunroofs tend to break, so I didn't get it. And I think the car body is more stable without one. Not to mention that they are expensive!


'00 1.8TQMSX no sunroof

Harder to sell a used A4 with no sunroof.

The light through it really lightens up the interior and warms the car in the winter. Really like.

Default Definetly a must....

Had it on all my cars and used it all the time. To me, the car would feel naked without a sunroof.

Default Not worth it for me...

After having sunroofs in the past and having trouble with every one of them, I passed on
the conv pkg when ordering my '00 1.8T. Other reasons? It's expensive (to buy and to fix), it generally cuts into headroom, and probably the biggest reason, at least for me, is that our third car is a Miata. If I want some sun on a nice day, I want the whole top down, not just a little slit.

If it were a no-cost option I'd probably take it, but I wouldn't (and didn't) spend any money on it.
