What is more desirable, a sunroof 924 or a non sunroof 924? I know most of the 924's have the sunroof (probably over 90%) butback in the 70's and 80's the sunroof was probably a desirable option but what about today? Is a non sunroof car more desirable due to being more of a rarity? Whats your opinion?

I have a non-sunroof car and i wish it had a sunroof.
It looks cleaner without the sunroof but having a sunroof would be great.

A working sun roof is great, it makes the car much nicer to drive in the hot weather.

Horrible if you are tall, buffeting wind noise at speed and it pulls in exhaust fumes (at least it did in my 951).

No sunroof is more desirable for race cars. Chassis is a bit lighter. And the sunroof doesn't have to be specifically attached to meet race rules.
