Used 2007 Saturn Sky 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Do it, you will not regret this car
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
New to me --One year update
I just purchased this green sky convertible last month. Mind yo the car is a 2007. I'm writing this today. 7/25/18. So the car is now 11 years old. But-- like brand new. 10,740 miles on it. Frame is still shining. Never in rain or snow. I have driven it about 200 miles. Fantastic car. Turns heads like crazy. No one knows what it is. Especially those younger than 25. Took it to dealer for inspection. They could not believe this car. They all went crazy over it. They did 5 outstanding recalls. No charge. Guess I'll keep it. It will somsday be a classic. They only made like 32,000. You know better than have are gone ant those with ultra low mileage are even rarer. So if you want a nice sport car. Thesevwould be what you want. I also have a 2000 vette conv. Mint condition. 6 speed in Navy Blue. This Sky blows it away with the looks from people. July 31st 2019.. still beautiful. Turns heads everywhere. This car will be a classic down the road. It offers everything. I've had it at a few Car shows and it draws more attention than any vett or exotics. People can't believe it. Many are younger people who were only a few years old when this car was produced. They love it.

A True Roadster
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.
Loved the car, but....
I bought my 2007 Saturn Sky (base) in February 2011. I loved the styling, handling, and performance so much! I just recently traded my car in for 2010 Mazda 3 though. Why would I do such a thing you ask? Well, it was a hard decision, but the idea of putting MORE money into the Sky was not what I wanted to do right now. I needed more room too. I used it as a daily driving car which was great for a while, but became annoying and a hassle when I couldn't even put a bag of cat litter in my trunk. This is a great second car. As an everyday car it becomes a hassle at times. I loved my Sky, and I miss it, especially knowing I'll never get another one, but at least I can say I owned one!
Why pretend you care how it peforms? :)
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.
