I won't buy a car now without a power roof. Ideally I'd like something like the new A3's power glass panaramic roof - so long as it opens.
It's more light and airy with the roof.
It's nearly always open when the temp is about 10dC. Always. Love the thing.
It feels so refreshing to be driving on a summer's night with it open, and the draft/breeze running thru your hair and down the back of your neck.
Often times when closer to 0dC - I won't open it below that becuase I don't want the seal to weather or strip if frozen - I'll actually turn on the heat but leave the roof open I love it so much.
In the sun, you can actually get a tan while driving!
When on the highway, tilting the roof is much quieter than cracking a side window. You can carry a conversation or listen to music more. As a bonus, it draws more air out of the vents too.
So yeah, roof is important to me.
