Sunroof or no Sunroof

Trying to decide between silver w/roof and silver or yellow w/o roof.

What have you guys all decided to get, sun roof or no roof. Do i feel a poll coming on here??

Also any thoughts on resalability with or without the sunroof.

Get the sunroof - when coasting around on a sunny day, you'll wish you had one.

no sunroof, kinda useless in NE! theres like 4-6 month of the year where you can't use them, and the salt, snow, cold will age the rubber much faster than some other warmer places......

No likey sunroof. In Florida its a case of too much sun normally, rather than too little.

This is true as well... But when you're cruising the beach, that nice sea breeze comes flowing in and it's sooo nice... Roll the windows down, open the roof, and crank the A/C as high as it'll go and it's niiice!!

Sunroof is a must out here in SoCal. As Jonasan said - "When you're cruising the beach ... roll the windows down, open the roof ... and it's niiice!!"

I went with a sunroof....like some others have said....something about opening the roof, lowering the windows, and just cruising, it is a fun thing.

No sun roof. It cuts out an inch of head/helmet room. I'm 6'7" so I need all the room I can get.

i am all about the sunroof, nothign like it when it is that mildly warm day, it is still to cold for the full out cold blast of windows but yet to warm to be closed in, it is the perfect intermediary

Yeah, I cram the seat all the way back but there would still be room for my kids to sit back there. The car also has really good headroom. I can't sit up in a Vette and just barely in a 911. But no problem with the Evo. Has quite a bit more room than my BMW. I haven't driven one yet 'cause no of the dealers around here allow test drives.

P.S. 6'7" and 250 lbs. Guess you can tell why I use Big Tex as a handle.

sun roof problem

I have a sunroof on my new Evo and I am wondering if anyone else is seeing this problem after opening it several times it has some kind of sticky mess adhering to the rubber surround after it has been slide back into the roof when it comes back into the closed position. Very hard to clean. anyone else seing this?
