2007 Saturn Sky 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Let's face it: if you're thinking of buying a Sky, it's because you're in love with the body. It's the Supermodel of Roadsters: you know it's superficial, but you still want to date it. There's really no beating the Sky in terms of a sexy, affordable convertible. Yes, the Miata performs better. You don't care. Yes, the ergonomics are bad. You still don't care. It's sexy, it's affordable... GO BUY ONE. You won't regret it.

Favorite Features

Really, the body styling is the selling point here. There's nothing it does mechanically that isn't done better by the Miata.

Suggested Improvements

The chassis sits a little low in the front for my tastes. It's not a low-rider, after all. And as has been noted a million times, you can't adjust ANYTHING comfortably once the car is in motion.

A True Roadster

2007 Saturn Sky 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Back in the early '70's I owned an MG. It was fun to drive, but not very reliable. The Sky reminds me of the way the MG handled, but it has more power and is more comfortable. The MG had clips on the right and left for the top and it was a pain to take down. I've read some complaints that the top on the Sky is difficult to take down, but it takes about 15 seconds to take down and about 20 to put back up. It is well designed for a mechanical top. This car has plenty of power and is so much fun to drive. I love putting the top down and taking it on a curvy road and listening to the engine roar. It is also beautiful, especially when compared to the Miata, which looks so vanilla.

Favorite Features

Looks, styling, handling. Fun factor.

Suggested Improvements

Cup holders. Dash gauges hard to see.

2007 Saturn Sky Red Line 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

Overall a great little car. Fun to drive, great handling, good power, and the car definitely turns heads! On the road it gets around 31 mpg, 24 to 26 in town driving. However, it does have some flaws. After owning for a year, it developed a very loud squeak in the front end (during cold weather) that Saturn can't find. It's noisy at high speed, and when you really get down on it the acceleration should be smoother. The dash developed a couple of different rattles after a year. The passenger side cup holder is a waste - it breaks if you use it (mine has been replaced 3 times). The window controls are not positioned well, and it has no room for any cargo at all.

Favorite Features

Exterior - it really turns heads and is a great looking car. The engine has plenty of power and the car handles wonderfully!

Suggested Improvements

The AC is very loud when it's running, and you can hear the fuel pump popping at idle. Turning on the defrost always turns on the compresser which is just too loud. The rag top squeaks and rattles. Add a power top and passenger mirror and give it cup holders that don't break when used for a cup.

Review

I was a little leery to buy a Saturn, boy was a wrong after taking a closer look. These things are built well for the most part. There's a couple things that could be refined like the doors having to be all the way open or closed to open/close the hood, and the window controls being to far back on the doors, but this thing is a ton of fun to drive. It handles like it's on rails, has a nice solid feel, decent power for a NA engine (I plan on putting a big turbo on it in a few years). With the sub it's stereo has an excellent sound. This thing kicks the heck out of the Miata. For the price this car is fun, reliability will be proven, but with 6 year 100K mile warranty I'm not worried

Favorite Features

I'm 6'2 and 220lbs and I fit comfortably in it, I don't fit in the Miata. The body styling is just awesome too, very nice looking car!

Suggested Improvements

Move the window controls and do something different with the LCD display for the stereo, it's hard to read in the sun with the top down.

Review

This car is fun, fun, fun! I was skeptical at first because I couldn't see the side of the vehicle when I was driving, then I finally figured out that I didn't need to see the side by turning my head because I could see the whole side in side mirror. I am a teacher and my students are fighting over who will drive it to the prom!

Favorite Features

Convertible, Bat-mobile look. People have gotten whiplash and broken necks because of my car

Review

I originally purchased the car for my wife but she didn't like red. I liked mine so well that I got her the bluestone for Christmas. These cars are a blast. Both are the 2.4 auto-trans. I have put a header, Borla dual outlet exhaust, cold air intake, oversized throttle body, ecm upgrade, rebar, mud flaps, chrome mirror covers, little chrome locks and seatbelt guides. My wife's has a flowmaster dual outlet exhaust (sounds and looks better than the borla) and everthing i put on mine except the ecm and the header. I'm going to do those befor the year is up. With these upgrades the car is really wild and fast. I want to take on a red line one day to see how they compare.

Favorite Features

Just about everything

Suggested Improvements

Window controls and visors. I know one of the guys at one of the Saturn's aftermarket suppliers and he's looking into finding a company to produce new door panels with controls relocated.

I Absolutely Love This Car

2007 Saturn Sky 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I originally saw the Sky on a poster in the dealership when I had my Saturn Ion in for service. I asked my salesman how I could get one. He said that they were backordered but I could get order one that day and get on the waiting list. It took 9 months for the car to arrive, I counted the days off on the calendar. When they called to tell me it had arrived I was exxtremely excited. This car is a blast to drive, it handles great, looks amazing and is totally awesome. I have had people follow me and pull up next to me to find out what kind of car it is. No one can believe it is a Saturn. My Sky which is midnight blue, with black leather interior and black top is the best.

Favorite Features

The exterior is beautiful, the styling superior, chrome alloy wheels, Monsoon sound system, chrome accent package, I love the 5 speed transmission. A total blast to drive.

Suggested Improvements

The cupholders are awkward to use, and not terribly sturdy. Very little storage inside the vehicle. Glove compartment is small and a small area between the seats. Very little trunk space, even less with the top down.

Review

Overall, I love my car. It exceeded my expectations (which are pretty high). The price is very attractive relative to the performance and appeal. I waited 10 months for my car and it proved to be worth the wait. It is a real head-turner. I get the same reaction I got with my first Saturn back in 1991, "Tell me about your car!" It looks different enough from its sister the Solstice, that people ask about it. The Solstices are more far numerous on the roadway

Favorite Features

Exterior styling. I got the Bluestone color. Exhaust sounds pretty good.

Suggested Improvements

A compass would be nice. Storage space could be expanded a little more. The operation of the top is a little awkward. Cup holders are practically worthless.

I was sold a Lemon!

Review

I bought a Red Line Saturn Sky last May. I ordered my car thinking I was getting a great car with alot of performance, WRONG! I have had this car in the shop 7 times out of 9 months. First it was the fuel pump, then my battery, telephone won't work correctly, and I can't pick and hold radio stations and now it's hesitating when I accelerate. I have had nothing but problems with it. When I took it to get fixed, the dealership scratched my car and had to get it repainted. I paid Cash for this car, and if I had financed it-they could have the Lemon back! The company wont stand behind their name or buy this back from me. I have bought 3 brand new cars from Saturn! Not ever again. Teresa

Review

When I first saw the Saturn Sky in late 2005, I knew that I wanted it. Now in 2007, I finally have my dream car and it has exceeded my expectations. It's exceptionally fun to drive and it's appearance has a classy sex appeal without appearing too feminine/girlie. The performance is precise with some tricks up its sleeve. It's my first manual car and it's been so easy to drive. The cloth top is easy to handle whether going up or down. Do splurge on the leather interior as it adds to the class and overall appearance of the car. Definitely a head turner. Everytime I see a Solstice, Mustang or BMW or insert lux brand name here, I think, "Mine is so much better" and smile.

Favorite Features

Exterior head turner. Performance, especially with a manual, is so much fun, which I've never had in a car before.

Suggested Improvements

Stronger cup holders. I'm afraid they may break eventually. Better storage compartments. They're in an awkward place and not easy to reach while driving, same with the window controls.
