Sunroof to be or not to be....
I came to realize that they might be pushing sunroofs on a lot of the initial cars shipped. With this in mind (I never checked to see if there was a previous poll on the subject) I was wondering how many people actually want a sunroof and the main poll question is when your car comes will you buy it IF it has a sunroof? I really don't want one but I guess if I had to take it I would. It's extra weight and less safe in a crash or rollover and on top of that I never use the one I have now!
Hope this poll thing works

If the Evo I accounted for arrives with the sunroof installed, I'd get it no problem, but I'd rather not. But first I'll ask if they have another Evo similar to that of the one I accounted for. If not, then no prob. I'd take it...I mean I've been waiting for this car for so long. So what the heck, Shure I'd take it.

same thing for me, i think. i'll be looking for a non-sunroof model (i'll be looking a little later down the line that in march), but if it that was all i could find in the two colors i was looking for, i'd probably take it.
i'm tall (6'5"+), so the clearance is the main concern with me, but i think i saw that it was only about a half of an inch difference in head room between the two...less than an inch, anyway.

I'm in the same boat...
I would rather not have one, but if I get a choice between a color that I want with one and a color that I don't want without one, I will take the car with the sunroof. It's a pretty nice sunroof, and it would be nice in the summer, but I would prefer to skip the expense & extra weight - but it's no biggie

In semi-related news, it appears that from the April allocations on dealers will be able to select color, but not package, unlike the current situation where there is no choice of anything.

Anyway, to make my point, you shouldn't have any trouble fitting, sunroof or not, assuming the Evo is somewhat similar in headroom space to the current Lancers...

although my weight certainly doesn't match my height quite like yours...i'm on the other end of that spectrum.

Man I'm in agreeance with everyone. On the one hand I've waited so long for this car that if I had to get one in the colors I liked with a sunroof I might as well get it if it meant waiting months for a new one. On the other hand I agree I should get exactly what I want and what I'm paying for. Else I might regret it further down the road. In all honesty it seems kind of weird they'd fit a pure bred rally car with a sunroof in the first place.
Right now I know they're getting a black one in which is my second choice color. They said they might be able to get me a silver which is my first choice. Hopefully I get the silver but if the black has no roof and the silver does it may be black for me.

sorry guys but i will make up for the extra weight somewhere else. there isn't anything like blowing down the expressway 100+ with your moonroof open. I live in michigan and want to enjoy the good weather when we have it. I have ordered the A61 in black and have heard that it should be here sometime in march but who really knows?

I fought to get a sunroof, all the cars in the first and second allocation were slated to have no sunroof ( at my dealership ).
I have never had any issues with my sunroof in my 99 GSX ( I'm assuming that the EVO's will be at least that good)
