You think panoramic sunroofs are unreliable?

Wait till you sit on ‘em like it’s a bench!

This couple in their X5 waiting for Biden’s remarks is stressing me out! Enjoy the creaks and leaks!

Also, this little JDM truck was going around San Francisco playing music today:

ooh tiny fire truck! I can’t help but suspect that operating that light bar is illegal, but I’m willing to give them a pass today!

I wish big sunroofs were available on small 4-cylinder hatchbacks. The new Mk5 Focus we don’t get here has one. The one-year-only Saturn Astra was available with one. And some shitty VW’s.

Too bad they don’t offer the big sunroof (or any sunroof) on the Corolla hatch., Webasto no longer offers the 524 Grandview, which seems to be the actual OE sunroof from the Astra (Webasto is an OE supplier)

Minis have always been available with panoramic sunroofs. Doesn’t sound like you’d be into that.

The Renault Mégane II was probably the first car I saw widely available with a “crystal roof” and I think they’re brilliant!

It’s open  and they’re sitting (with child) on the opened part that slides on top of the fixed rear panel.

The Jeep Renegade offers   a pretty swanky dual-pane panoramic roof on higher models. Until last year you could even get it with a manual trans mission and the fancy roof !

I mean, it’s technically a CUVoid thing, but it’s a small 4 cylinder hatch back in spirit and price.

Poor reliability. It’s a Jeep Thing :(

I almost bought an ‘18 Latitude with stick and the panoramic roof. Mrs. BoostAddict and I both liked the dual zone climate control and the huge roof, but the Kona is better in pretty much every way that matters for a daily. Faster, better ride and handling, better fuel economy, better reliability (and warranty), better looking (my opinion), better rear seat, and as a DCT Mrs. BoostAddict will drive it willingly as opposed to grudgingly. I still have the Zetor, even if our second tractor now has a CVT, so I at least get to row my own gears most days... Even if I never break 25mph.

203 coupes could have them, but you don't want one of those

I drove a manual Renegade for a year. Really fun little vehicle. Straight piping it makes it sound like an Abarth

Yeah, it’s a shame they’re such pieces of shit :(

Otherwise, it would be the next Silvia/200SX, cute lil RWD coupe fun drifting and shit, and yeah the cool sunroof is awesome.
