Question Coupe Owners' Poll - Sunroof: Yes or No?

If you could have ordered (purchased) your 911 without a sunroof, would you have? Or, do you use/enjoy your "top window?"

I love having a sunroof. that was one of the big drawbacks to my 6-GT3, and the primary reason why I don't have a Cayman S.

btw, why no poll?

My 03 Turbo came with one. But had I had the choice (other than seeking another car and maybe one not as in good of condition) I would have not checked the sunroof box.

I can't stand the roof open and even in the tilt up mode I seldom leave there for long, just long enough to help cool the hot cabin.

I don't even put my Boxster's top down.

Sincerely,

Macster.

I use the sunroof every day. Make it an option so folks have the choice.

Thought I set this up with a poll....but, noooooo!

By the way, I wish my GTS did NOT have a sunroof. I never use it, and would love to lose its weight, and increase the interior height!

my old mcoupe had the rare sunroof delete and it got me a premium when I sold it, plus I never use them and was is less thing to break. no sunroofs!

oops

I use my sunroof all the time. as in, nearly every time I drive it. it really is a requirement for me.

but I do get that some people don't use them, and/or would like the lower weight and complexity. so to that end, I would say that Porsche should give the option in North America if they give it in Europe.

No sunroof. It takes away much-needed headroom for tall drivers.
