Thanks for all the replies. Will stick with my gut and keep the standard roof.

I have one on my Volvo that literally no one in the car ever looks up at. I know they are the cool thing to have right now but they are useless. No one looks up while their riding or driving.

The pano roof is useful for spotting bear in the air.

Yep, I'm glad I have a pano roof so I can spot a drop bear attack before it is too late:

Pano roof makes it feel like a jet fighter.

my opinion but the F-type looks way better without a glass roof. Body colored roof makes it look lower and sportier.

Funny, I'm just the opposite and I didn't really want one. The car I purchased came with it and I would have much preferred a couple other options it did not have that would have cost about the same. I think the panoramic roof looks great.

Perhaps it looks better with no roof at all...

bought mine used with no panoramic roof. Not something I would want though as I also think the solid roof looks way better

But only when the roof is off. Which, here in the UK, is about 2 weeks a year!

The glass roof also looks good on any of the dark colored cars.

+1 That is the key and true from the outside.
But from the inside ........

It doesn’t matter what colour you have

I like the black roof color contrast, but I could care less about the glass. The sun is always in my eyes so the shade is shut.
