Try the GTS - the rear seats are non standard but are also a no-cost option..

Or you could remove them yourself, making room for other things, and still have them to reinstall in case the next buyer wants 'em.

I use my sunroof most of the time but usually just in the first position, actually wish it was glass instead, believe my wish will come true with the 991.

I'm slightly surprised by the preference for glass among those who like sunroofs. As long as I have to have a sunroof, I'm glad that it's steel. I think a glass roof looks out of place on a high end sports car, not least because it draws attention to itself, especially on light colored cars.

Seldom use the sunroof fully open, but frequently use the pop-up mode and love it. Can still hear the engine pretty well with windows up and A/C on (which is most of the time in Austin).

I'd go for SR delete if that were an option.

I never, ever use mine.

It just adds extra weight way up high on the car, the last place you'd want it. That, and encroaches on the headroom.

Seems like an easy and wise choice to make it optional.

You don't want a sunroof, simply buy a Cayman S.

Would prefer no sunroof - never use it and it's a pain to detail around the seal on the roof.

No poll to answer, but my answer is I'd not buy a car without a sunroof unless I lived in an area where the temps never get above 75 degrees F.

I would not order a 911 with sunroof, however I did use mine when I had it. Also had a lot of annoying rattles and repair work.

Sunroof-delete as a no-cost option should never have been removed from the option list. I would order my 911 without sunroof 100%. Pros: are increased headroom and reduced weight from the top of the car.

PLEASE bring back this delete option on the 991!

I like my sunroof when I absolutely have to give the international sign... one finger salute!
