Hello. So I've just been aproved a loan now the money is sitting in the bank waiting to find the right car.
Looking for a white or blue facelift R with DSG and with max 40k miles. I also really want one with a glass roof but they are none on autotrader right now and hasn't been for weeks (i check regularly). Other options i would like but are not mandatory is cruise control, bucket seats and dynaudio speakers.
Just curious why are the panoramic roofs so rare? Are they bad or something?

Probably not worth the original option price for what is just a tilting roof I guess - approx £1500 when new. I very rarely used mine and in fact the sunblind remained closed for most of its life as with it open the car would get very cold when it was stood. Looked the dogs danglies mind!
Similar for the Recaro seats in terms of practicality. For a two seater car they're fine (if a little cramped for the larger user!) but when you want to get someone in the back they only fold forward and don't slide and return as normal seats. You have to use the seat adjuster to move them forward. Pain in the butt to get them back to your preferred position. Worth the money? Having had them once, I wouldn't choose them again.
