Finally thinking about pulling the trigger....... You think it's possible to specify the car without the sunroof? Do they even make one without it?

Nope, all MDX's come standard with a sunroof. You cannot order one with it.

too bad

Good luck even finding a hybrid. The 4 dealerships around me only have 1 tech model between them

I was asking because I sat in the MDX the other day, finally willing to pull the trigger, but found my hair was touching the headliner in the back seat. Very disappointing. I'm not that tall (about 6' 2.5"). And I don't sit in the back. However, I carry 3 other fat and tall middle aged men golfing. Two of them are taller than me.
this is very peculiar cuz the older MDX's fit just fine. Did they take away room??? It sure is odd cuz the cars are actually heavier than before.

Do second row seats recline? And height standing up is different than height sitting. Torso vs. leg length will make a difference but still may not make a big enough difference or have any impact in your decision. $0.02

Tell them to stop wearing women's heels.

They are sitting down. The 4 inch pumps won't impact the sitting height. But when you go over 200 lbs, your sitting height does get impacted as there is a bit more in your seat area taking up space on the chair. But really, they are not freakishly tall or anything. Normal people...... just really sweaty and dirty not wanting leave hair grease on the headliner after a full round of golf. i don't think it's too much to ask.

Ask them to wear hats?

You probably need a bigger SUV. The hulking Cadillac Escalade ?

So my last trip to Denver, Avis messed up my rental car, and did an upgrade from my normal Equinox-esque corporate rental to a brand new Suburban. Aside from the considerable size difference in driving vs my MDX, the seating inside was awesome :-) I volunteered to drive coworkers that were at our meeting each evening to dinner, mostly to see how many we could get inside and still be comfortable. Let's just say the 3rd row folks were comfortable, and sounded like they were in a different time zone. :-) I actually was pretty impressed with the fit/finish and the way it drove - but parking that sucker was a challenge for sure. Was happy to get back to my "little" MDX when I got home.

Well, technically it is a midsized suv, not full. But yes, this third generation did indeed get a bit smaller than the prior generation other than exterior length. All interior dimensions are smaller than the 2nd generation.

If you thought the third row folks were in another time zone in the Suburban, you ought to hop in a newer Ford Expedition. Have had the Suburban and Expedition for rentals out west while in snow country. Not bad vehicles and both were very roomy for adults, even the third row. However, I agree, parking is a different story.
