after my better half got her 207 with panoramic glass roof, thought it'd suit the civic as i did feel quite closed in when in the car on test drive (at least, compared to C4 coupe im driving at the moment - which has no sunroof, but loads of light gets in all round anyway) cheers
Three reasons really :
  • I did experience a little of the headlining 'squeeks' in my ES,depending on the road conditions.
  • Only my opinion,but I reckon the glass roof had some negative effect on the rigidity of the body (perhaps less so in the 3 door)
  • I wanted the extra headroom to allow me to fully use the available seat adjustment-again a personal thing as I'm more comfortable with the seat pretty high
Congratulations on choosing the Civic! The Type S for me looks the part,and drives if anything even better than it looks
