Wow, these responses are ALL correct - even when they are opposite answers.

There's not many things more polarizing on rennlist than sunroof vs no sunroof.

Actually, I can only think of one other topic.

HouTexCarreraS

PSE vs. no PSE

ipse dixit

I see your PSE v. No PSE

And raise you a MT v. PDK.

Gentian21

Base vs. S trumps them all.

RWD VS AWD

I’ll show myself out....

Head on over to a 997.1 v 997.2 debate.

No way. The DI engine in the .2 by a mile. No question. Nobody would prefer the IMS engine to the non-IMS engine, unless they are gluttons for punishment. Those that claim they prefer the .1 are .1 owners kidding themselves.

Except that wasn't what I said, so I believe you missed the point. But I certainly appreciate your jumping to conclusions and making blanket statements. Let's save that for political discussions, shall we.

No? What did you say then? "Head on over to a 997.1 v 997.2 debate" seems pretty clear, unless you are referring to Turbo/GT3 etc.

A lot of folks say you have to get a 997.2. Don't consider a 997.1, which sorry is still a great car. They'll add that the 997.2 value / pricing is leaps and bounds above an apples to apples 997.1. Which may or may not be true depending on the market segment. Yes, no doubt 997.2 cars are worth more, less supply, less issues.

But here is what you categorically missed:

Digits said not many things more polarizing than sunroof v no sunroof. To which others added PSE and transmission to the list. I added the 997 gens. I could have added NA v 991/992 turbo (engine design not turbo trim) instead. My point was not to debate the 997.1 v 997.2 which you immediately began to stammer on about. My point was that in discussing the 997 generation, people get somewhat testy in the distinction between the two halves of the gen, and you pretty much proved that point.

I only use sunroofs on nice evenings (too hot here in summer). On the 911 I much prefer the look of a steel one on most colours. That said, I have two cars with glass panoramic and have been testing them to see how much I prefer the cockpit openness as I would sacrifice some looks if it was much better inside. On both my Macan and C wagon, there was no difference in the front seats. The only benefit of the glass was for the rear passengers. I've done this during as many different light conditions as possible - ZERO difference for the front passengers. So my question is, is the 911 glass roof very different in this regard when you open and close the shade screen?

I posted this on the new 2022 config thread as it appears Porsche made a change/improvement on the glass sunroof for model year 2022.

Actually they made a major improvement that I would actually get me to select the glass sunroof with the 2022 if I wasn't on a 2021 allocation.

The 2020/2021, if you selected glass sunroof, the strip of roof between the windshield and the sunroof was black (regardless of body color) and the strip between the sunroof and the back windshield was as well. When the pillars of body came up the windshield, with the glass sunroof option, they had an odd widening to them at the top, that broke up the color lines.

Now with the 2022, they have made all of the roof that is not sunroof body colored, just like on the steel sunroof version. Which in my opinion makes the glass sunroof car look so so so much better, so much that I would option a glass sunroof on a 2022 build but did not on my 2021 build.

Maybe that's my OCD!!

Can’t go wrong with the glass sunroof. I don’t drive with the sunroof open, but I always keep the sunroof shade open, unless I park the car in the sun on a hot day. On a cold day, I keep the shade open and the car interior stays warm.

No leaks.
