(1) the moonroof only tilts??!!

Yes, it only tilts up, then back down. Why they didn't make it open up like the 2nd generation RX-7 roofs, I have no idea. Perhaps they thought it would hit the antenna or it just never occurred to them.

(2) There's no sunshade for the moonroof??!! making it like a magnifying glass

Haven't run into the magnifying glass effect yet. But you can always tint it. Either go dark tint or try the reflective mirror tint. If the heat gets bad, I'm thinking of the reflective mirror tint (I live in the San Francisco, CA area)

3) Why no drving lights ala the 2.8 coupe??

They are clunky and would intefere with the brake cooling and air intake on the M. You can always add aftermarket lights, but IMO they are mostly for looks. The standard headlights do an excellent job of lighting up the road by themselves. Also, it depends in what area you live in - maybe driving lights do come in handy.

One last thing is you might experience a leaky rear wiper during "SPIRITED" driving. No fix is available for this at the moment (except maybe emptying the reservoir).


: Anyways...I'm still buying. Can'tdeny true love I guess. :-)
