I recently bought a new car for the first time in 16 years. I had all the same concerns - my Acura MDX solved them all. It’s not perfect (has opaque shade for panoramic roof) but the number of physical buttons (dozens) is glorious. And the door handles are great.

Ugh the glass roofs. I don't know why people like them. "Why yes sir, I would love to get beat down on by the hot sun while lacking airflow over me and risk an expensive repair bill from a falling walnut!"

Most people don't utilize them fully.

- In the winter, if there is sun, and you have like black leather interior, it actually helps warm the car up.

-For trucks, having a glass roof is almost essential for seeing if you will fit into a parking garage. Having lived in Seattle, Im glad my truck had one.

- Opening the roof and setting AC to use outside air is the fastest way to vent the car. It doesn't create as many vorticies as opening the windows.

What you’re describing is a sunroof that’s useful for a small set of use cases. Panoramic roofs that don’t open are different.

Suddenly everyone is putting them on cars.

I went to test the new electric BMW iX3 and it had it.

It was funny because it was July in Southern Europe so it was quite obvious why it was the worst idea in the world.

Combined turn signals and brake lights!

There are EVs with no sunroof.
