About 2008 Saturn Sky
Overview
The 2008 Saturn Sky is a jazzy, sporty convertible with an affordable sticker price. Seems like the folks at Saturn might have been inspired by the 1990s success of the Mazda Miata: The 2008 Sky has the same funky styling, low price point, and (dare I say it?) slightly underpowered engine of that iconic sports legend.
The good news about the Sky's inline-4 engines is that they're great on gas, with EPA estimates of 20-22 mpg city, 28-31 mpg highway. The Red Line engine, a 2.0-liter turbo plant, clocks at 260 horsepower; the Roadster engine is a 2.4-liter mill with a 177-horsepower output. Still, with a curb weight under 3,000 pounds, that may feel like enough oomph for most drivers.
Disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and a low-slung, curvy exterior give the '08 Saturn Sky a racetrack feel. Both trims ship with manual transmissions, but a 5-speed automatic is an option on the Roadster.
It's still hard to characterize the Roadster and Red Line trims on the 2008 Sky; the trim identities haven't quite gelled in this, the model's second year. The Red Line seems focused more on performance, and the Roadster on style, but Saturn's marketing doesn't quite differentiate them. Nonetheless, the 2008 Saturn Sky looks like a lot of fun for your dollar.

Very enjoyable, basic sports car. No computer controlled anything. It weighs barely 3000 pounds and with 260 HP and 260 LB. FT. of torque it will get sideways anytime you want. The top stows into the trunk area reducing even more the meager storage space but boy does it look cool with the top stowed. No visible convertible top makes for one stylish ride. The 2.0 liter engine sounds rorty on start-up but is never hard on the ears. Stereo easily heard at freeway speeds even with the top down. Consistently gets 27 MPG at 75 MPH in 5th gear but would be even better with a 6-speed gearbox. Too bad they're out of production. I predict they will be a collectible in 10 years.

I think that this car is what it was designed for "Fun". Its a car that you can jump in and go without worry of it breaking down. I get about 31 mpg and feel the road as im driving. I like that there are after market parts still available for this car. It wouldnt take much to get this 4 cyclinder over 300HP. I think GM hit a home run when they came out with the Sky redline.

Performance is exceptional - much quicker than comparable models from BMW and Mercedes. Mechanically very sound so far, with no issues whatsoever. Interior quality is slightly below what you might expect, although sound system is excellent. Lack of storage is an issue for overnight trips. A very fun car to drive overall. Drive one before you buy a more expensive model.

This car is by far the BEST poor man's roadster. I will own one in about a year. You will not believe how well it drives and hugs the road, don't try to play "corners" while cornering, it won't work, the car stays level the entire time! CRAZY!
