I thought it was just regular 3 with speed 3 wheels but i was looking inside out without looking too suspicious and it sure was speed 3. I have couple questions.

you can have a sunroof installed, there is a place in MD i know for sure that will do it.

Torsional stiffness will suffer. There's a reason Mazda doesn't offer a sunroof in the Speed.

Yeah like he said... They don't not include a moonroof, power and heated seats, and full leather seats just to gyp you. They all serve a purpose.

The solid roof gives torsional stiffness.
Power and heated seats add weight. (This car is already one of the heaviest compared to its competition)
Full leather seats would make you slide around when taking hard corners. (That's the reason I've heard, at least)

I know I made this joke before, but...

... I went ahead and strapped two car batteries on the roof to achieve the same effect. Cheaper, too.

 

[DaleNixon]

I don't get the joke

Sunroof + Batteries = Gay fish

All you're doing is increasing weight with a heavy glass panel and decreasing structural rigidity... so mine as well put batteries on the roof... it's cheaper.

 

[RC08MS3]

you couldn't make up the torsion with underbody bracing?

don't mine me if its a stupid question and has nothing to do with it

this thread makes me laugh. the op came on here to see if some that he/she had seen is on here and we get into a debate over sunroofs (rlaugh)
