| Briskodian |  Thinking of buying, a couple of questions Hi I'm thinking of getting a 1.9 Tdi Elegance as my next company car and have a couple of questions, if you don't mind? Has anyone got the 'solar sun roof'? If you have is it any good, does it keep the car warm & cool depending on season? Secondly I read somewhere on here that it is possible to get a heated front windscreen, but cannot find it in any official Skoda material. Is this avaliable on a UK spec car, if not anyone know why not? Thanks in advance, Martin |

| Briskodian | My car has the solar sunroof. In recent weather, the fan certainly is working hard with the ignition off. I dont know how effective it is, as I cant switch it off to compare. Also, as I only got the car 2 months ago, I dont know how it works in the winter. I still think its a great feature  |

| Briskodian  | So what is the Solar sun roof all about then? and why is it different? Excuse my ignorance on this as I am relatively new to Skoda as well.

| solar sun roof runs the fan i guess to stop the battery going low, during a hot day so when u come back to the car it will "supposably" be cool and ready for you to set off comfortably other than that i think thats all it does ...and maybe makes ur car sound special!

| Dad's superb has it.... it runs air-con via solar power from the sunroof. Very effective!
