    I wish there was a trim that doesn’t have the glass sunroof. I bet they could shave off 1k more if they made the base model have a regular roof instead. Summers are brutal where I live so the last thing I want is more sunlight and less insulation. A regular roof also won’t shatter in hailstorms.

      I have the same challenges. Can anyone chime in that has experience with these full glass roofs on cars in the desert?

        I have a glass roof but live in Los Angeles, though I’ve spent time in the Arizona desert. Honestly, I never thought about it.

        I’m in Florida and have one. It does get hotter then the car without. I coated the roof with a UV reflective material. It helps a lot but still not as good as a normal roof.

      You might be in luck. Nissan is apparently going to release a base model called the S sometime soonish. This is the mid model release, like what Nvidia does with their GPU launches.

      I also dislike the whole roof sunroofs because they tend to be terribly echo-y in every Uber I’ve been in. Feels like I’m in a McDonald’s tube slide.
