All about fun

Had my Redline for 2 years. It's my let's have a fun and sun day get away car. Don't plan on packing for a long trip but that's not what this car about. I have had no problems and just turn the key and go.

Excellent fun for the cost

Great convertible for the price - fun, good looking and affordable. The interior is simple but roomy, even for someone 6ft. It handles great around sharp roads and load of fun on curvy roads.

I didn't believe Aliens made this Vehicle

This is the Saturn Make with lot of extras, it runs how it looks..... Superfast this is from where the aliens gave the name of a planet to a super car.

'07 Yellow Saturn Redline

I'm 64 and retired. This little roadster is my last kiddie toy before I'm too old to get in and out of something so close to the pavement. I love this car and the styling is timeless. The turbo has all the performance I could ever wish for. My wife thinks I'm nuts for having a car like this at my age, but she sure seems to enjoy those top-down weekend cruises.

Hot Ride

I ordered mine from the factory in 08 with everything I wanted on it, got it in black with red and wanted it HOT from the factory and told them which dealership to send it to after it was built. Since then I have modified it with GM upgrades and some after market stuff. The car is a little rocket, I can reel in just about anything on the street, though the car has reached it's limit for how much power it can handle. The traction control is completely useless, tires spin at all times no matter what the conditions, and when it is rainy or slick, the car is nearly undriveable. I had this same problem with a custom made race car years ago. Some people have dropped v8s into these, but I don't see how the car could handle that, especially with the problems my supped up 4 banger has as it is, though the added weight from a larger engine may help some. The car handles almost like a motorcycle, very tight, though my suspension is upgraded too. The downside to this car is 1. it gets far too much attention, and 2. there is basically no storage, it is purely a roadster, if you plan on hauling anything, get a truck or SUV. No other car on the road will do 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds flat and still get over 30 MPG, absolutely NONE. This car will stay with Ferraris, Lambos, Porsche, BMWs, Vettes and most motorcycles up to 140. It is too light to go faster.

great car, and a lot of fun.

Very fine car, and a lot of fun to drive. I like everything about it. It handles the road very well, and the power is surprising. If you can find one, get it while you can!

Corvette's little brother

Bought this Saturn Sky Redline edition for my wife as a surprise 60th birthday gift. She has wanted one of these cars every since they first came out. I was impressed by the performance of the 2.0 liter turbo charged engine. 260 HP is strong even with the 5 speed automatic transmission. This car is a blast to drive and it gets looks from everyone. The car is much nicer than I expected it to be. Too bad that the Saturn line went away.

Want a roadster? This it is!

I purchased the 2008 Sky from a dealership in Wichita, drove it home to Northern Minnesota that day, Slept somewhere in Iowa and didn't sleep well JUST because I wanted to get back in my car! Car has just 24,000 miles and looks/feels new. I love how the car feels even without the turbo and wow, it does get looks! Wonder if it could be a collectible in a few years?

Fun for two

I researched the vehicle for almost a year and new the car I wanted. I had no real problem with color, due to the fact I was buying a used vehicle and I was looking for the mileage and the results of the car fax. I did however, have a desire to have two tone seats and most of the Red Line had those. I found the in another state, traveled to the location, test drove the car and purchased on the spot. The car was as advetised and had all the features (turbo, Red Line, two tone seats) and I purchased the vehicle that day.
