To sunroof or not to sunroof?
Ok, so I think I've decided I want a P5...
I drove an `03 autostick the other day, great car, boring tranny, holding out for a manual...
I've been kinda hung up on finding one with a sunroof. I've located a red `02 w/o sunroof for a good price. Most of my Honda's have had sunroof's and I wish I could have afforded a Titan with a sunroof. I've really missed having one. I'm 5'11" and I plan on auto-x'ing this vehicle as well as daily commuting. Should I embrace the no sunroof in exchange for extra head room with a helmet or is that something I even need to worry about in a P5?
I guess my question to spirited owners with sunroof's is how tall are you and do you have clearance issue's with a helmet?
Thanks in advance...

I'm 6'2 and I fit fine in my stock-seated, sunroof'ed P5, even with a helmet. 
On the track, it's good to have the roof open anyway(endless head and helmet room!)...just in case something bad happens, raining glass from above is no fun.

Thanks for the responses, good to know that there are some enthusiasts on the site...
I think Ima hold out for an `03 with a sunroof. I've located a silver one in AL, about 2 hours from Memphis...
Overall I'll probably be waiting to make sure Nissan buys my Titan back. I dont wanna finance a P5 only to have them decide to replace the truck instead of buy it back and then have two car payments, along with a big mortgage payment :YIKES ...

When we bought our P5 I made sure I added the moonroof. I keep my shade open year round and it makes the inside of the car brighter as well as making it seem bigger. I also tinted it to protect the interior leather. Only when it is blazing sun do I close the shade and only part way. Got to protect what little I have left on the top
I've been told and also read that our P5s have moonroofs not sunroofs. The difference is that a moonroof you can see out of while closed and a sunroof you cannot.
Cheers
