OP, thanks for the tips and thoughts. As a prospective buyer, I was poking around building a CX-5 online where I struggled with adding a moonroof as a feature but along with a moonroof comes with bose, technology, etc.
What are your thoughts and any one else that has the feature think about it in retrospect? You said it's a bit far back and tiny.
Moon/sun roof was standard on my '03 Civic Si, which I missed on my current Cooper S and now I'm looking to add it on a CX-5. Can you do without it? I figured it'd benefit the ventilation since the CX-5 lacks the rear vents and would also be an added bonus because well, it's a moon roof. As for the bose system, I initially wanted it, but after reading thoughts on other owners perhaps a weekend diy project to upgrade the speakers could do the trick.
I understand it can be based on individual preference but I'd like to know from experience whether each trim after the other is worth it?
