I ended up buying my first ever FCA, a '18 300S partly because I could get it without the sunroof. I have mostly bought higher-end car/trucks in the past 20 years and all of them always came with a roof. I think I've opened them 4 times in 20 years. I never liked roofs, never open them, so no-brainer for me.
My wife recently got a GC and it has a roof. It's never been opened.
Just my opinion.

I went to Chrysler dealership in my town and straight to the service manager at the service center for recommendation. He strongly recommended to stay away from a model with the moonroof, he said they are still experiencing lots of issues with the panoramic roof.

In 2013 I bought a brand new Ford Tauris all loaded up. It had lots of problems, including a leaking panoramic moon roof. After taking it back numerous times and the dealer telling me "they all leak" I got fed up, and at a great loss traded a new car in for my new 2013 Chrysler 300. I never had any issues with the panoramic roof. As I mentioned before, I rarely opened it. But, that car was passed to my wife when I bought my next 300 and she and my daughter had that roof open, probably more than closed. No issues with it. And as probably mentioned earlier, no problems with the roofs in the two current cars. I can't believe these roofs are such an issue. Remember, the panoramic roof for ALL the brands, are all made by just two or three companies. There would be more of an outcry it there were problems with many of them.
 
Not a must-have for me. I keep the shade closed most of the time as the direct sunlight overhead gets hot on ya. Plus it makes the interior warner and harder for the A/C to work to keep the interior cool. But admittedly on the few nice days where you can open it up it is nice.

Thanks for your input, I ended up not getting one with a moonroof, I thought the car is already 7 years old and I will keep it for a long time, it is just one more thing to break and if it starts rattling it will drive me and my passengers crazy, Chrysler service center also recommended to stay away from those panoramic roofs if I have a choice, so I did.
 
People who have a panoramic sunroof/moonroof on their 300 cars, how do you like it, do you think it is a must? Have you had any issues with it?
I live in LA and it is mostly hot and sunny here, I have a regular moonroof on my VW and I hardly ever remember I have one but it is nice to have it, I can open it whenever I feel like it.
I have found a clean low mile luxury model but it doesn’t have the panoramic moonroof like so many other ones have so I was thinking if I should go for a car that has the moonroof.
Go the the Pana roof its worth every moment of pleasurable motoring..no issues with mine..just remember to clean drain holes once a year..simply pour warm water with small amount liquid cleaner mix and pour into drain tray..
