    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.

    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!

    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.

    Lovin this car!

    I am continually surprised at how much attention this car gets! At gas stations, the grocery store, garages, old and young, people come up to me and talk about this car. Everyone loves the look. I knew I loved it when I bought it, I really did not think it would generate this much buzz with people I didn't know. I drive it for mileage on my commute, put the cruise on at 72 and get 30-33 mpg on the highway. Then the weekends, I drive for fun, punch it whenever I can get away with it. I'm putting the cold air intake in soon, I've spoken with other owners who are getting +3 to +4 mpg with it plus the 10 horsepower punch. Best purchase I've ever made!

    True enjoyment!

    I fell in love with the looks the minute I saw my first one! It's one of the best looking cars on the road and for the money a lot of car and a great buy. I don't understand the reviewers complaints about the manual top. It's simple, fast and reliable to operate. It's so small I can't see the need for motors and a drive system. The performance, handling and braking are exceptional. The car is a constant hit with everyone you meet. I love the XM radio and all the small speakers. Even with the top down at 80 sounds are still clear and strong. It's fun to drive and the enjoyment factor is way high. A bonus is the ease of manuevering and parking such a small car.
