not an option on the Mustang either. If you want a hole in the roof, you get a convertible. Period.

Toyota term.
Toyota Celica GTS with Sunroof which has a metal panel.
Toyota Matrix XR with Moonroof which has a tinted glass panel.

Operation they are about the same.
Only thing differnt.
Moonroof, you can pull the inner panel back without open the glass panel. Can't do that with the sunroof cuz it attach to the metal panel.

when I was a kid - I saw a a guy in a white car with a sun roof -
roll his car - I dont think he was using a seat belt - because he came
halfway out of the sunroof before the car fliped over - he got flattened,
it was a low speed wreck - he hit power pole guide wire, doing about
45mph or less, that was what rolled him over, I did not see what made
him steer off the road - I turned when I heard a noise and saw the car flip

I was like 8 or 10 at the time -

no, just thought I would share a story - if any thing, use a seat belt,
but thats a matter of choice

yeah I'm completely for seat belts. I dont think cars should turn on untill the driver is wearing one. and it'd be neat if the weight of the passenger engaged a secondary thing so they'd have to have their seat belt on too. but a lot of newer cars reconize both, and have some kind of indication that its not on. like a beep, or an LED... it wouldnt be too hard for them to do as i suggested...
