I had glass roof on my '10 E63 and now on my new'14 E63, love it !!!!!!!

 

I'm opting for no sunroof. No noise issues, no rattling issues, and its the trend with all car manufacturers. It's nothing new. Just can't see having to spray window cleaner over half my car!

 

Agree...
Silver is the way to go with the new 991TT.
There are several white 991 C4S in my area that I've seen in the last 2 months.
There is a white '14 991TT on dealer lot sitting next to dark grey C4S Cab and the cab looks way better.
For some reason, white on the 991TT looks like a GT cruiser, rather than a menacing road machine.

Black would be my 2nd choice: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...iami-pics.html

Don't get me wrong, I like white and just sold my 997 Targa. But our next Porsche will be some silver/gray variation.

I got the glass sun roof. My other cars have it as well. No downside really just a few more bucks. There is a serious downside to not having one at all. Resale.

 

Good point!!

 

If resale was a concern, we wouldn't be buying porsches'. Last thing I would do is try to think of what the next guy wants. I couldn't give a damn what the next guy wants.

 

Even with the sun screen closed are you saying there is light coming into the car? I just ordered a black on black tts with glass roof. I was originally going to go with no roof but salesman convinced me otherwise. I'm not big on having the sun on me while driving.

 

Me either but I won't have the car the rest of my life and I would like to have as much of my money back as possible when I sell it.

 

Very little, if any, with the sunscreen closed. The glass roof is medium tinted to start with, and the screen is a close weave, like privacy screening. You can see out a bit, but sunlight doesn't penetrate, and you can't see into the car from the outside. Thought some pics might illustrate. Go with what you want, but whether you like the open airy feeling the roof gives is just personal preference. My first choice is glass sunroof, second would be solid sunroof, third no roof. I also agree that I'm not concerned about resale regarding the decision to get one or not. Great car with or without a sunroof, really.

You being from Canada, maybe there is less opportunity to use one up there vs in the warm southeastern US (Atlanta) where I live?

Gratuitous car pic.



Pic with roof closed, but no sunscreen. See the tinting?



Roof and sunscreen closed.



Roof and sunscreen closed, but with some of the solid area between top of passenger window and passenger side sunroof for contrast.

 

Thanks for taking the time to show me how it looks, much appreciated! It doesn't make choosing any easier!

 

I'd recommend you go to your local P dealer and take a seat inside a 991 with the glass roof. You could see how much, if any, light penetration there is. No diff. between the glass roof in the 991 vs the 991TT.

 

What is the difference in headroom between glassroof, sunroof and nothing?

 

I have no basis for this statement, hehehe, but I am guessing most headroom with a glass roof with no sunscreen engaged, comparable headroom to a metal sunroof and no sunroof with sunscreen engaged. The glass roof slides open over the back of the car, so I guess the metal roof does as well.


I've never been in a metal sunroof or no sunroof 991 before.

 

GT silver is the classic porsche color. I have had several in this color. I ordered White this time, like the very first porsche I owned...when white was "different". And the last thing I want my porsche to like is a "menacing road machine" That's for the corvettes, IMO.

 

Here in the deep south, it's either Hard top or Cab. Having a hardtop does not hurt resale here, period.
