P25W and P35W?

I did not notice any...

Thanks!

P25W is low roof while P35W is high roof, that simple!

Thanks!

Interesting, why do you guys select low roof or high roof, what cons and pros?

Cheers,

Cheers,

For me the low roofs looks alot better; Sleeker and less bubbly. Much more like a floating brick. :D

PRO: I wanted to get it in the Underground parking and I have 1 inch of clearance. So the high-roof was out from the start. Plus it's not as tall which clearly means a lower center of gravity! LOL!
CON: The inside roof space is ~6 inch less then a highroof (less space argument). No crystal lights option.

I got a high roof because it was the next one in Japanoid's queue.

Pros: headroom, crystal light roof.

Cons: doesn't fit in underground parking.

With stock tires and ride height a high roof Delica is an underheight vehicle on B.C. Ferries. It is overheight on the northern routes (Prince Rupert, Queen Charlottes).

Our observations from having had both a P35 and a P25.

P25

Lower center of gravity.
Low clearance is an asset on west coast back roads.
Can fit roof racks and still be under height on BC Ferries (30" and under tires).
Can fit commonly available roof racks.
Moon roof option is great for camping and roof rack access.
IMO, P25 are more masculine.

P35

More interior room and headroom; you should see the inside height difference, side by side, between a moon roofed P25 and a no sunroof P35.
Passengers prefer a P35.
Crystal lite option is cool.
In her option, P35 are more feminine. I'd say more of a soccer mom look but a few fellows here might be offended.

Thanks to all responding!

It is pretty knowledgeable here.

Keep it up!

unanimous decision. family likes the crystal lite, so that's what we ordered.

assummed delooka would not fit in our underground. was not looking forward to doing multiple trips in and out of the house to load up for camping. but I was wrong!

my wife figures i have about 2" of clearance to spare. yeah!

We got a high roof because - in our humble opinion - it looks way better.

As for center of gravity, there is negligible (if any) difference. The weight of the delica is at the bottom where the beams and drive train are. The extra six inches of headroom is air, which doesn't weigh that much... It looks more tippy, but it isn't. Some folks on here have got their high roof to 45 degrees without tipping (Mystery Machine).

I'm officially offended. Having said that though, the selling factor for my wife was the crystal lite roof. Had it not been for that I might still be driving a '95 GMC Safari van and paying $150 every 10 days for gas.
