Great Little Roadster

This little car is just a go cart with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder 260 hp turbocharged engine that really is a casual man's corvette, a pauper's porsche, a frugal man's ferrari, or if you like, a loafers lambourghini. On a serious note, it is an extremely quick very pavement hugging vehicle but it does not have a spare tire, only a pump and some tire puncture sealant. If you have a good "roadside assistance" insurance company insuring the car as I do, then you really have nothing to worry about.

Saturn Sky Redline Edition

I had this exact same car back in 2007 but sold it in 2008 due to building a house on 3 1/2 acres of forest that I purchased for my 5 dogs. My dogs have since passed on due to old age so I found another Sky that was the same color (Techno Grey) that was a year younger (2008) and had leather seats whereas my 07 had cloth seats. This vehicle is quite simply: a frugal mans Ferrari; a paupers Porsche; a loafers Lambourghini.... in other words this car eats pavement and spits it out! I got this in Buffalo NY and my phone navigator program said it should take 9 hours 45 minutes to reach NW Indiana and I made it home in 7 1/2 hours. You due the math on the speed and I think you'll agree this vehicle just eats pavement and spits it out, all the while getting over 30 mpg. I absolutely love this vehicle and just the other day switched to "Competitve Mode" and have rediscovered a whole different car!

Have fun in a Sky

I have the Redline, with the turbo-charger. That's nice! I wish there was room for the seat to go back a little more--an inch would help--and I'm only 5'8". The stick trans is not as smooth-shifting as I would have expected. The gauges are not as nice as, say, a Miata, and they're set at too high an angle. There is virtually no storage--there should have been side pockets in the doors at least. I've had the car--I'm the second owner, and it had 12K miles--since June 2011. I can't comment on the reliability in that short a time. No problems so far. It's fun!

the most awesome car

I found the car on cars.com and drove 3 hours to get it. Was really pleased with the style and comfort of the sky. Love that we can put the top down and drive around. It turns heads everywhere you go. This is the most awesome car that I have ever owned. Too bad they have quit making them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

ive always liked the looks of the sky, and when i finally was able to purchase a redline i instantly fell in love! it may be a little cramped on the interior if ur taller than 5'9 or so but thats to be expected. it has a decent sound system with some decent bass and handles well. lots of power for such a small car and has gotten me into trouble a few times :) it definetly turns heads since there are only 4 or 5 in the area and people always mistake it for something other than a saturn. LOVE THIS CAR
