I have to finalize by Feb 13, and I have pretty much decided on all of my options. I am planning on getting a multi-coat Red P85 with 19" wheels, Tech package, Sound package, black leather, CF trim, the CF spoiler and the parcel shelf. The last decision is the roof choice. Pano roof or no pano roof?
I have had sunroofs in all of my previous cars, but I have rarely used them (they are included as standard equipment on Acuras). My thinking is that a sun roof or pano roof will decrease the structural rigidity of the car somewhat, which might marginally affect the handling in a negative way. It is also a $1500.00 option for something I don't think I would use very much. The pano roof does give you some more head room, but I am only 5' 11", so I don't think that is a big issue. I think I have read that the pano roof tends to make it be a little colder in the back seat during winter. And finally, a pano roof is one more piece of equipment that might have problems in the future.
If I go with the regular roof, I have to decide between black and body color. I can't really decide which I think looks better. I would think that a black roof would make the car get hotter when it is parked in the sun, and if would slightly increase the load on the A/C system during the summer. But those concerns are probably pretty minor.
What do you think? Are you happy with the roof choice you made? Thanks for any thoughts about this!
