Yeah, unfortunately, my car has the hole in the roof but if I had my
choice it would not.
I don't like the sun on the back of my sun glasses so if I want to run
with the sunroof open, I need to wear a hat with a brim.
Not so bad at night but really not necessary and just another potential
trouble spot.

I have to say that I have never thought of my F150 as being an
"anti-Prius".
I think of it as practical. I have the Supercrew so it is a car with a
truck trunk.
It is the Lariat so it has most of what we expect in newer cars in the
sense of leather seats and power this and that. I have power pedals. I
don't have a sunroof - which is fine as I really don't care for
sunroofs.
It is a bit hard on fuel but apart from that, it is great. It has room
to haul people and "stuff" and can tow the boats and launch and retrieve
them.
The Prius on the other hand makes good mileage but is essentially
useless apart from being able to get one to and from and haul a few
groceries.
If I were wealthy enough to hire people to haul whatever I needed and
have the local marina care for my boats, I would not need the truck but,
I would probably not be driving the Prius if I was that wealthy.
