A different view......I would not be without a panoramic roof. Had it on my last two cars and with no faults or blockages in that 5.5 years.

The extra light in the cabin is worth it alone. The ability to partially open it during a lot of the year for fresh air and fully open to enjoy the sunshine here in the south west of England is lovely. 🌞🌞🌞

I had to abandon the sports 2-seater convertibles we had had for several years to ferry around our 5 grandchildren. They love the view out to the sky and the clouds year round.β›…πŸŒ¨πŸŒ¦πŸŒ€πŸŒ™

So the pano is the next best thing for open air motoring. 😎😎😎

I totally agree...having it open on a lovely Spring morning...
I'd not cope with the sun beating down on me on a hot summer's day in a cabrio

Ditto, mine is not often open but that's not the point, the blind is always fully open and I love the airy feel it gives a black leather cabin

Yep lovely with the blind open, sad for the front passengers though the 'view' from the back is superb.................

Hmmm, my car is in the OPC at the moment having 111 and 2 year extended warranty applied

Asked them to check transfer box (all ok) and drainage points - they now want to charge me approx Β£120 and Β£240 to clear two areas (one was sunroof, other was fuel filler cap I think). Presumably that's plus VAT as OPC always seem to assume I am a business owner and don't worry about VAT.

I have sent an email to the (so far very helpful) warranty guy - will keep you posted

Yeah I assume that's 30 mins labour at OPC Chiswick

I have asked them to clarify, they did call at 8am this morning when I was rushing out the door to work

Update - kudos to West London 8-)

After I enquired they agreed to FOC under warranty (along with the pitted black exhaust and corroded wheel centre caps I originally went in for)

So my bill will be Β£250 for 111, and Β£1400 for the 2 year extended warranty (oh and Β£16 for a new wiper blade :D )
