A sunshade for a vehicle, such as a car, that includes a housing to contain the shade. There is a first attachment member located on the housing for attaching the housing to a window. There is shade element attached to an interior of the housing and enabled to be moved from a retracted first position inside, wherein the shade element is at least partially within the housing to an extended second position wherein the shade element is at least partially outside of the housing. The window shade also has a handle member attached to the shade element. This handle member can have on it a gripping element so that someone can easily grab the shade element and pull it down. There is a second attachment member located on the handle for attaching the handle to the window. In a preferred embodiment the first and second attachment members are suction cups. There is also a temperature sensor, preferably made of thermochromic material, positioned so that it is thermally insulated from the window. This permits the temperature sensor to provide an accurate indication of the temperature of the interior of the vehicle.
