Like the White roof, like how big it makes the sunroof look

I picked the white roof so that everybody could see how big the sunroof is. Actually, I liked the white roof and wanted a sunroof. I don't like black roofs due to their thermal properties. The white roof looks like white trim almost like a picture frame around the sunroof.

It is the coolest sunroof I have had, though not the quietest.

I really liked the contrast of the White Roof with the Indi Blue body... but I couldn't leave the roof alone

Nope... Too darn hot in Aus for a sunroof

If I still lived in the UK I may have gone for it as it's a very cool sunroof, though they're pricey, rattly, add weight & reduce stiffness

Look best on a black roof too, IMO

Yeah, I quite agree. They look very odd on a white roof, to me at least.

Even though my roof is black, I didn't go for the sunroof as I wanted manual air-con and couldn't justify getting a sunroof as well.

I just checked the Sydney forecast - look for a scorching 30C (85F) high this coming Sunday.

I guess it's what you are used to, but too hot for a sunroof? You do have the option of closing it and using the a/c, right?

I don't really like the 'greenhouse' thing, so no sunroof for me, thanx.

Besides, I didn't want the added 60 lbs so high above the CG.

I would of liked the sunroof. I would of paid for it, but it was not offered on the first 500 cars entering Canada. I waited long enough to have one of the first cars in Canada. I really can't complain. I still love the car.

Didn't get a sunroof and didn't want one. I had a sliding sunroof on a previous car and hardly ever used it. It's a good option for those who like to use it.

Oops. I clicked "White Roof" before seeing the "Personalized" option further down. (I have factory checkerboard decal, no sunroof)
