2008 Saturn Sky Red Line 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

This is my second Sky, I owned a base model which was no. 850 off the Saturn line. I love the car and the only bad points are lack of storage space and ease of entry and exit, that's it. Good points, styling, handling, ride, yes ride it rides better than my 2004 Acura TL, ask my brother. Reliability, well don't have enough miles to judge that just yet but my first Sky only had a small differential leak recall (mine was not leaking but repaired under warranty) that's it. My current Redline only has had the door latches replaced under warranty. Saturn actually came out with a new design. No squeaks or rattles and quiet for a convertible. Pack lite, stay flexible, highly recommended.

Saturn has built one fine little roadster. It doesnt just look awesome, but handles like a true sports car. The Sky handles turns with amazing performance and powers out of them with ease. Its big wide tires stick to pavement like glue. Once in the cockpit, you cant help but smile. One drawback, there is no luggage space for a really good road trip.

5/9/21 Still a sweetheart that looks and dives as it did when new. Beautiful little car that our kids have used more than we. Absolutely no problems and the few recalls were addressed. To date we have been extremely lucky/happy with both of our 2008 Saturns, one SKY and one Aura. 11/7/19 Still getting compliments today on how beautiful the car is, more than eleven years after its purchase. The performance portion of your survey was rated at three stars because it was never intended to be a fast car, not with 173 horsepower. It was intended to be a pleasant little cruiser and it is exactly that. 11/7/20 Still the car GM promised and we hoped it would be. An absolute joy!

Now it's a fun car

The Red Line Turbo a cool car for the price but at 260 horsepower not as quick as I wanted it but with the GM boost package at $758. installed the power went to 290 and no lag from the turbo and now a fun car to drive. One problem I have a rattle in the dash area that no one can seem to correct and it's driving me crazy. Need more luggage room so I'm looking at a removal luggage rack suggested by one of the reviews. My little red sports car now at almost 300 horsepower is a fun car to drive.

I wanted to get a fun car for just date nights with my wife, errands, or small trips. This car is an absolute joy to drive! I frequently catch myself just smiling or even laughing when driving it. Maybe the happiest I have ever been with any purchase. Update after 4 years: still love this car. Have been zero issues except a new battery this year. Great car!
