What is it with the Panoramic roof
I just dont get why so many people pay £800 for a piece of glass you cant actually see out of if your sat in the front seats, which suprisingly is where I will be sat every time I get in the car.
Also how durable will it be after a while if you want to "off road" a bit
Sorry for the rant but I just dont see the point

RE: What is it with the Panoramic roof
For me it's the sense of space and light. It also gives you more headroom

RE: What is it with the Panoramic roof
I originally wasn't convinced either as the glass starts quite far back. Really pleased I ordered it now though as it makes the whole car more airy..and somehow makes it feel a bit more special. I did manage to get it at the original price though.

RE: What is it with the Panoramic roof
1. great for passengers in the back
2. more light and spacious feel even in the front
3. better resale value (most popular option by far)

RE: What is it with the Panoramic roof
One of the reasons I didnt opt for it was the thought of flexing and cracking with it being such a huge part of the roof. Havnt there already been reports of cracking problems

RE: What is it with the Panoramic roof
I think you will find people got the option to let light in rather than to see out. Also initailly it was only £390 so worth while having

Sence of space and light and airy did it for me, and I only paid £460 for mine so was worth it for me!

RE: What is it with the Panoramic roof
There was one report of a single crack in a single pre production car. A complete non issue. In my mind the panoramic roof is a must have option. People love the light and the view.
Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.
Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.
