I've owned 5 Hondas/Acuras with moonroofs and they do *not* leak and
require minimal maintenance: a rub of the rubber with silicone spray soaked
towelette and a spritz of grease in the slides and mechanism from time to
time . On an Spring or early Summer day, where A/C is not required, I
really enjoy an open roof - a matter of taste. It doesn't transform your
car into a sports car but it's the next best thing. Wind noise, even at
freeway speeds, although obviously increased, is not a problem for me but
then I rarely listen to the radio or CD player.

Only drawback I've heard is for tall folks, especially long-bodied - the
headroom is reduced by enough to bother them.
