Sunroofs

I'm about to purchase my lancer soon, the question I'm dealing with right now is if i want to get a sunroof or not. the dealership in the area is down to about 6 or so OZ's left in stock, and I know that they have at least one white one with a sunroof. it's on the floor. If I decide to take this car autcrossing, the sunroof could be a bad idea since it adds weight to the top of the car, but if all I do is drive it around daily (although I drive way too fast and too hard when given the chance), then the sunroof option doesn't sound too bad. How do you all enjoy your sunroofs, for those who have them, or have those who didn't get one wished that they had?

i have an auto so i play w/ the sunroof all the time in my lancer since i have nothing to do w/ my other hand. it's an aftermarket one and i've been meaning to ask .. does the sunroof from the factory close when you take the key out of the ignition? i'm just wondering btw good choice on getting the sunroof .. i'm sure you'll have fun w/ it.
