What does the writer mean here by skipping the sunroof? The STI also has more front-seat headroom (assuming you skip the sunroof) and a bit more than 2 inches of extra rear legroom, while on the other hand the Focus RS has almost an extra inch of rear headroom. Source: https://www.autobytel.com/coupes/car-buying-guides/2018-ford-focus-rs-vs-2018-subaru-sti-which-is-best-132912/Does it mean assuming you ignore the sunroof?

The link you have provided does not work for me, perhaps it's regionally locked. I would assume it means that the car has more headroom than the Focus RS unless you but a model with a sunroof in it as the sunroof housing lowers the headroom. I could be wrong as however as I cannot read the article.
I lack the imagination for a witty signature.

Sarries -
I was interested in reading your explanation as the way I interpreted it seemed counter-intuitive. But unfortunately you have a bit of a keyboard-glitch and left out something in the second sentence?

"assuming you skip the sunroof" is meant as a jest. You are not going to stick your head out through the sunroof, are you? In other words, the sunroof doesn't count.

I also assumed it was a joke  Lots of headroom It is poorly structured as a joke, but I can't see how choosing the sunroof option reduces headroom, so that makes no sense.

Poster Sarriesfan above made some sense with his 'fuzzy' comment:Quote:
...a model with a sunroof in it as the sunroof housing lowers the headroom.
ie. a model with a sunroof requires a large and strong housing thus increasing the distance between the car ‘ceiling' and the external body work.
And I expect it to be especially so for passengers in the back seat since a sunroof needs to go somewhere when it is open...usually backwards.
(or upwards which then alters the aerodynamics)
just sayin'

Really? No sunroof I've seen reduces the headroom.
Maybe I am not travelling in posh enough cars.

A bit of a typo yes sorry. I meant to type " unless you buy a model with a sunroof in it". Sometimes the predictive text one the device I use causes little glitches most of the time I spot and correct them, that one slipped through the net.
