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

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? :huh:

So its not a long piece of glass that goes up and over your head that you can see through? Is that confirmed?  If so.. that actually makes my decision not to have it easier...

Came across this high res image of the panoramic sunroof during my daily surfing for all things Golf!

Looks like a German showroom with a GTI beside!

No it's definately not one piece of glass that you can see through, from the inside it is just like a normal sunroof although maybe a little bigger, when you "slide" it it goes along the outside instead of sliding inside the roof.

Cr@p video but you get the picture:
