Little known fact, the non-sunroof 5BWs have more HP. Kidding aside, spend some time with each and there is no denying the aesthetics both inside and outside are better without the sunroof. There are also practical considerations as mentioned. The only real reason to have one is if someone somehow gets enjoyment from it (at the cost of ruining the clean lines).Didn't seem to be an issue with this 5BW? Whatever your flavor is, enjoy!
Yeah - last winter a shop pumped 5 gallons of water out of my GTI due to a clogged sunroof drain and me being away for a while during a period of heavy rains. I had to dry out the car further using a fan and carbon packs - for weeks - before it was fully dry. Primarily for this reason (but also because of reduced headroom) the car I originally ordered was without a sunroof....but the one we eventually bought had one. I'm OK with that - I like sunroofs - but would have preferred it without.Unless you really enjoy using the sunroof, I would pass. I've seen too many of them leak due to the tiny drains getting clogged. I think a lot of people would reconsider getting one if they saw how they actually work. The water doesn't stay on the outside of the car. Some of it drains into a gutter system around the sunroof and the little drains carry the water down the A-pillars and outside the bottom of the car. When those drains get plugged, the water overflows and leaks into your headliner and/or the A-pillars. Just some info to consider.
