I don't like them personally. They're noisy, colder than a roof and generally a nuisance.
But when the sun is belting down and you get into a car which seems to have a cabin hotter than a blast furnace, opening that roof becomes an absolute joy. You can feel the heat escaping.
Some of my classic twin sunroof moments:
Going back to when I was at college, me and my mate endured a particularly dull History lesson. Luckily there's a 25 minute break afterwards to wake up in. Instead of drinking vast quantities of coke or coffee, we jumped in my Panda, whipped the roof back and had ourselves pummeled by freezing cold air in a quick drive around.
And at Christmas when we all met up, one of my mates was particularly drunk and somehow we all ended up going for a drive around in my car again. Don't worry, I hadn't been drinking. Halfway through the journey my drunken mate discovered the roof opened, and opened it. Cue everyone else complaining of being bloody freezing. Anyway he started poking his head out the top and what have you so I headed for Kelsall hill (dual carriageway and pretty steep!) and went down because he wouldn't stop. Needless to say by the time we got to the bottom he'd quietened down. He either swallowed a load of flies or his brain froze and seized or something!
And of course all the times in the summer when a journey becomes a nice relaxed jaunt with the roof back, in no hurry to go anywhere.
Back to the car, now is pretty much the best time to get one as it's still cold. Come summer prices will start to climb as people seek a car for fun in the sun.
