Sunroof Delete?

good quality tint should be fine for years, and it can removed, so I don't see how that would have any effect on the value.

Honestly I can't tell if you're just being funny or serious. I'd rather have my daughters asking me questions to continue their mental growth. I don't even let them watch more than 1 hr/wk of TV at home. TV destroys the mind and when they grow up they won't be smart enough to make enough money to buy their own Audi

At least here in Texas it's listed as "deep tint", so I would expect it's probably tinted about like the rear windows are, but haven't exactly taken a light meter out to the dealer or anything.

Because it is a personal thing. People on this board think that Scuba Blue with Chestnut interior looks bad or at least isn't a great combo. I got it and love it; absolutely love it. What I don't love, though, is the California sun shining in that I can't block. And paying money to 'tint' the problem v.s. losing $600-1000 on trade seems to be a wash for me.

Who knew a sunroof could be so controversial!? I am concerned about the perforated sunroof shade combined with a Texas summer sun, but I love sunroofs and won't go without. The black headliner does seems to lessen the effect of the sun shining directly overhead, though. To each his own!

YES!
It's your money so buy one you like and drive on.
If your dealer allows, take the panorama car and park it to your driveway for 2-3 hours on noon sunlight and you will quickly learn how hot it gets. Then take your wife and ask her to sit on back seat and drive off to see how much you need to blast the A/C and how long it takes driving around that the back seat feels comfy and not sweat the crap out.
Too often ours have stood 2 hours outside during the 100F sunny noon and usually takes about 2 hours highway drive to cool the interior to the point that wife and kiddo on her carseat don't sweat like in sauna.
We have the normal sunroof on our other car and that with hard cover is far better than panorama and that perforated thin wimpy rag...
If one lives up north where sun is not as intense as further south then panorama could be nice toy but at 90-100F temperatures it's the option we will make sure we don't have.

Personally I'm ambivalent, but can understand people not wanting it at all (especially with the issues VAG used to have with sunroofs -- I get to clean out the drainage hoses on my wife's Golf for the sunroof that she never opens). And if you're planning on keeping the Q5 for a while then the value difference won't end up mattering too much compared to you not having to "deal with it" for however many years.
