When I bought my car 3 years ago the guy I got it from said the moonroof and a CD player (over a casette player) were the only options and both were free. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want either, but some chose not to get them. I still have the casette player at home.



The moonroof adds weight high in the vehicle and sucks headroom. In some cases, the loss of roof material also contributes to more chassis flex under hard use.

Autocrossers and club racers are always looking for the rare case of the factory hot rod with the full roof. I love my moonroof most days, but it does get in the way of a helmet.
