Does the Panoramic roof make the GTI sleeker?

[master_hayabusa]

Been thinking about this for a while. I'm not a huge fan of the pano roof, in that it's not a must have. But...does anyone think that the version with the pano roof make it look sleeker, lower because there is no apparent break between the windscreen and the roof? Or is it just me? Here are two pictures to compare them.

Looks sleeker from certain angles, but I hate the break in the roof part-way down.

It looks good in that photo but I think it looks crap in that photo of the white GTD in the dealership photo.

I personally prefer the look of the panoramic roof to the normal one and yes i think it does look a bit sleeker, i still don't know why they call it panoramic though? It looks like one from the outside but inside it's just like a normal sunroof?

Yeah, its not actually panoramic.

I ordered it... so, come September (October? ) I'll let you all know what its really like.  Not that it will be any help to you by then.

Different angles and different lighting conditions make for different photos. Until you actually see one in person, then each photo will look better or worse. I'm personally glad I spent the £900 for the pano roof on my white GTD. I think it definitely makes the car look sleeker and I like the way the windscreen merges into the roof. Just my opinion though

Ye I never thought of that, does look a bit odd from the top view.

Personally I think it looks pretty good, not enough for me to pay the price for it though.

Is it one piece of solid glass from windscreen up? What happens if you get a cracked windscreen?

No it has a black seem I think.
