Every opportunity I get. Specially when driving in the mountains. Clean air, beautiful scenery, sunroof open windows, carving the road

I've never used mine all the way open. I will use it tilted open as a vent on local roads but it gets closed as soon as I hit highway speeds.

Once a year to check if it works.
Don't need it, would order or choose another car without it, if I could.
One more thing to break, leak. Would like the extra head room and saved weight.
Kind of like it in the truck. Especially helpful when one of the kids lets a ripper go.

I have a sunroof?

Seriously, no, pretty much never use it. But if I were driving really fast I might tilt it open to get a tad bit of disrupted air flow (in order to reduce the upper/lower pressure differential). I doubt though that it would have much effect. It might, however, give me some false confidence not to lift.

Not finding a sunroof delete option on 997s, I seem to recall, was discussed quite a while ago. My memory is fuzzy but it may have had something to do with additional DOT testing and certification that PAG did not, for whatever reason, want to do.

The thing I love most about winter is I can turn off the A/C and open the windows and roof. I use it tilted up during the day, open it full early AM or late in the afternoon when the sun isn't baking down. Only in town though, it's too much buffetting on the highway. When I get on the interstate I close everything and switch on the A/C, which also helps keep the compressor seals lubed. Having a sunroof is almost worth putting up with the incessant slap-bang-rattle when it's closed. I had convertibles, never again. Even the fastest tops don't close quick enough for our sudden downpours. Plus fabric tops die an early death from the sun down here, and there's the vandalism issue. And I have never driven a drop-top that felt as rigid as a coupe.

I crack it open as a vent to release some heat when it has sat outside on a hot day. Otherwise, no.

I have had many and never cared for them or used them. My 991.2 is close to build and no sunroof. I think the glass roof cuts the car in half. If a must I would go with the painted roof.

Pretty much every single time I'm in the car. Windows down every single time I am in the car unless I enter the car while on the phone.. in which case the call transfers to hands-free and of course the windows stay up.
