Hi There
I have finally put the deposit down for a new S, now the long 12-16 month wait allegedly!
I still cant decide if I should go for the Pan roof or not due to the issues people have had, plus a never use a sun roof but the light is nice - but if I dont go for the roof I could get the lighter interior which would be nice! Real world problems eh!!??
Still nice to meet you all and good to see the forum is quite lively :)

Cheers
Stuart

Welcome. If you want the Pano then get it. First 'sunroof' I've had since my Ford Escort XR3i (long time ago), and I love the light and being able to tilt it occassionaly. I've had no issues so far ;)

Quite lively? Too damn lively sometimes! To save any of the usual suspects asking post your Porsche code so they can interfere with, sorry, over advice on your spec. ;) although opting foran S has saved a fair bit of noise already! Good choice!

Welcome.

What Neil totally failed to say is that posting a Build Code is mandatory.

We feel a Newbie is not serious unless we can collectively add at least £5k to the poster’s Build Code cost.

Probably the only reason many of us have a Pano is to lighten the interior, for some reason known only to the VW Group they have this thing about dark headlinings, having a lighter colour has only recently been available.

Which OPC? Did they tell you 12-16 months? I think the wait time has come right down now. My S is expected in around 4 weeks which will be ~6 months since ordered

Not everyone has issues with the roof!

Makes it much lighter inside and I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve opened it while driving.

Different with the 911 as I like to hear the exhaust !
