Seriously, I dont like big sunroof either, but the roof on the Q5 is pretty tinted and the mesh shade does a good enough job. You can always tinted more just some others have done.

You're a good salesman - sure you don't work for Audi? lol I might give it another chance and go to my dealer this weekend.

G-man hit the g-spot 
Tint helps a lot but you will need the darkest 5% tint to get it dark.
I had 5% on ex VW Tiguan and I would get 5% again if I would like to block the sun as much as possible.
Shade does not really block any light as it is mesh and not solid.

I disgress, I tgink the mesh shade actually blocks most of the light. I have never had a glare with the shade close. We were going to order a Q5 without the sunroof, but it was the same price. Couple that with the 8 week wait time and the lower resale value. We bought on with the sunroof even though we havent use it once in the 3 months since we had it.

Audi is really missing the boat not offering a conventional sunroof option. I never use the sunroof but my wife uses hers all the time. At least with my A6 and her RX I can just slide shade and not deal with it. The Q5 does not allow this and I really dislike the panorama roof for this reason. As much as we like the Q5 it looks more and more as though we will follow the sheep and buy another RX to keep harmony in the family... mainly because of that damned roof!

I am sorry if I am being unsupportive, but I am sure the dealer will throw in a free tint as a condition of purchase if it bothers anybody that much.

Sorry guys, I don't need a shoulder to cry on, I was nicely trying to say the panorama roof is a cheap way out for Audi- you guys have bought the car and have to add your tint, mess with the crappy mesh shade and pretend you are happy. G-Man, why spend $150.00 on tint when cardboard and duct tape would do the same job for a lot less? You have completely missed the point. Why should I buy something I don't like? There are too many alternatives out there, and although common the RX350 is pretty much perfect. Besides, stating an opinion on a Lexus forum would probably not elicit the bitchy replies I have received here! Don't be such haters... lighten up!!!
