Sun roofs are funny, people want them but rarely use them, they always end up leaking and they add weight to the top of the car which is exactly why the type S doesn't have one yet the A spec does.

I have no insight on whether a moonroof will be offered in the future or not. My opinion is they wonāt offer one. If they wanted the car to have a moonroof, they would have launched with it.I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether the new type S will have a moonroof in the future if not for this release? I am considering trading in my current, a spec Integra for the type S, but I am set on having a moonroof. Does anyone think that future releases will include one?
Also, since I plan to trade in my new Integra with 3500 miles will it depreciate a ton if I wait another year?
Iām so torn what to do here!
Iām depressed over it honestly. Every sports car ever have ever owned has had sunroof or moonroof orttop. I always used them and never had any leak issues ever. They should let customers have option up custom order one. I mean for that price tierThey will never have it on the Integra Type S or Civic Type R.
Direct video from Acura at the 2:46 mark. It's removed on purpose to save weight and increase performance / center of gravity:
I had a 15 year old Civic Si that had a factory moonroof and it never leaked. Not once.Sun roofs are funny, people want them but rarely use them, they always end up leaking and they add weight to the top of the car which is exactly why the type S doesn't have one yet the A spec does.
Front rotors are ctr two piece. And wheels are lighter then the 18s on the Aspec.I had a 15 year old Civic Si that had a factory moonroof and it never leaked. Not once.
I also used it all the time in the spring and fall, with the rear windows down to better hear the exhaust and eliminate the buffeting that you'd get just by putting only the rear windows down.
And can we stop with the trope that Acura didn't include it because of "weight savings"? Acura didn't include it because the ITS is a badge-engineered CTR, and they couldn't spend money to modify the chassis to include one. If Acura was really that concerned about weight, they would've made the driver seat manual adjust, not power, and would reduce rotating mass my making the brake rotors two-piece designs and the wheels forged.
That's good the rotors are 2-piece, as they should be. Acura just liked to make everything heavy AF on the TLX-S, because they're 1-piece rotors on that car.Front rotors are ctr two piece. And wheels are lighter then the 18s on the Aspec.
I disagree, I think weight savings on the top of the car vs the seats, at the bottom of the car is a good reason to forgo a sunroof, but again, I don't know fort sure, it really doesn't matter just discussing possibilities is all.I had a 15 year old Civic Si that had a factory moonroof and it never leaked.

I use my RSX's sunroof a LOT, it's super refreshing and brightens / opens up the interior imho.Sun roofs are funny, people want them but rarely use them, they always end up leaking and they add weight to the top of the car which is exactly why the type S doesn't have one yet the A spec does.
I never even thought about the "sun shade" (or know what it was called)....and at least open the sun shade if I donāt actuate the roof to open.

It has never leaked in 18+ years of ownership.
Looks like they are playing the 'performance' card though haha. At least the M240i has it for the same price (and 100hp more haha).
May be down the line in a refresh but Acura and Honda alike donāt typically offer option packages like Subaru does for instance. You get trim levels with whatever they allocate to said level and thatās that.wish i knew for sure if itwill be an option though.....i really want the S sooner than later but at same time would hate toregret if they started offering the sunroof!!!
