I'm Finally One of You
Hey guys, been lurking for a few weeks. As of yesterday, it's official! I picked up an '07 OB 6MT, and am having a blast driving it around. Because my tall *** doesn't fit with a sunroof, I got the base model (only options are splash guards and trunkmat). Now time to spend the rest of my bank account on mods....

Yea, you get 3 extra inches of headroom without the sunroof.
Damn right on going to Candy Mountain! Went riding in Malibu this morning for a few hours, then took to car out the play this afternoon. Life is freakin excellent!

I think it also takes @ 18 lbs off the weight, as a small plus.

I'm in Los Angeles, CA (hence the motorcycle in Malibu comment).
The sunroof mechanism takes up more room, in terms of thickness, than a standard roof. Because of this, the headliner is dropped 3 inches lower WITH a sunroof. I'm 6'2"/6'3", but I have to throw the seat way back to not have my head scrape. This position isn't comfortable for long trips, or for any sort of proper driving position (esp. with a manual). I must be a freak or something, but I can practically touch my skull to the headliner when I sit up straight in a coupe with the sunroof. And yes, that's with the seat fully lowered, tilted back, slid most of the way back, and the back reclined a decent amount... Maybe I'll rename myself circus freak...
