Hi guys,
Looking to upgrade my little micra to a Mazda 3.
I really like the idea of having a sunroof as a feature and have been looking at them for a while.
Is there any negative aspect to having a sunroof on your vehicle ? and in your opinion, is it worth the extra $$ ?
I love my sunroof, but my car is very hard to find without a sunroof, so there was no perceived premium cost associated with finding a car with with this feature. (I purchased second hand)
I have to say though, I love driving with my windows open, any occasion. So maybe I am biased.
It is nice though, to have fresh air flowing into the car without it buffeting your face, if you don't feel like it at the time (eg, on the freeway at 100kph).
Also, it's nice, on a hot summer's night, driving along, looking up and seeing the sky/stars and the moon, if you have it open.
It does make the interior a bit brighter during the day, but that is something you can easily 'try' just by jumping into one, and see if that is something that you notice or appreciate.
Not sure how much the dealer charges for this option, but if you are buying a 30k Mazda 3, and the sunroof option costs 3.5k, I would question the value of this. If it was up to 1k, then yes, I would say it's worth it.
