Sun Roof or no Sun Roof that is the question

I know it is a matter of personal choice but is a Sun Roof worth the extra £895 .....and is it too late to choose this option if the build date of my pre-ordered car is 22nd May for delivery in early June

Personal opinion, a thing off of the 80's before a/c became common fit.

I like the sunroof. Usually have it open a little for good air circulation. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Good point VA. Good for circulation however does it not rob you of headroom? Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

And if you forget to pull the blind over you sunburn the top of your head with it open! On the plus side, it you have parked the car in the full sun on a hot day opening a crack when the car is parked helps keep the inside a bit cooler - don't know if the alarm is affected by leaving it open though. I don't think it is worth the extra £895. Haven't had one on any car since 1998 and haven't missed it, as all my cars since then have had aircon or climate control.

Edit................ ooops just remembered my Defender which is dark metallic green, has no AC and gets like a furnace on a sunny day has a pop-up glass roof and fantastic under the screen louvre vents - you want colder, you have to drive faster or open the windows! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I must admit I have have had a sun roof in both my previous Freelanders and have never opened them more than a few times, I was just thinking that the interior roof lining looked a bit plain after having a sun roof..... https://www.plus.net/refer.php?strReferral...d093cba6a7

Fine if you drive with your head out of the sunroof, but what about when it's closed!.........

Go for the sunroof. Apart from everything else, there's far more light in the car even with it closed and the blind open. I actually find the airco sometimes blows too cold, no matter how you set it, and anyway, long journeys with airco = blinding headaches at the end. nuff said! RRS TDV6 (gone)
