Mine is the turbo with automatic. The car is really fun to drive. Unfortunately the turbo failed (actually the waste gate servo)with 210 miles. Gets 28 MPG at 65 and 31 at 70 MPH as long as you don't put you foot into it. Use mostly for commute 70 miles round trip on interstate hwy. Primary complaint is the poor ergonomically interior design and lack of a few features. Window and mirror controls are under your elbow, should have been put on door along with electric door lock. Power seat only up up/down though it makes the seat go forward as you raise it up. Have manually adjust it back. Need vanity mirror on pass side. Ride is little rough but seats are very comfortable.
Great Ride!

We just got back from a 1500 mile road trip, absolutely no problems. I am six feet tall and there is ample room for me to drive in comfort. I also have a '63 Jaguar XKE roadster, and a '93 Miata, both of which are in very good condition, but the Sky will outperform either of them and do it in more comfort. The Sky attracts as much attention as either of the other two cars, and that says a lot ! Love the aceleration, and the car gets consistently better fuel mileage than the factory estimates. (30to 32 MPG) and handles like it is on rails. I am very satisfied with the automobile.

We had a 2006 Pontiac Solstice with the 2.4 naturally aspirated engine - fun to drive, and we never felt it lacked go-power. However, my 2009 Saturn Sky Red Line (2.0 Turbo) is a monster! Handling is just amazing - immediate and precise. The 5-speed (from the Chevy Colorado) works much better in the Turbo. There is nothing like dropping the top (which cannot really be done from inside the vehicle, unfortunately, although, if you're nimble you can raise the top from inside the vehicle, you still have to get out to close the backward-hinged trunk) and hitting the road. Cramped - sure, but I'm 6'3" and it's fine. Storage - well, this isn't the Sky's strong suit, although there is a glove box, map pockets on the front of both seats (handier than you would ever think...), and a reasonable-sized center console (doesn't lock). Some have cupholders between the seats, my old Solstice did, Sky doesn't. Don't miss them - they were useless anyway. We bought a custom set of luggage to make the most of the admittedly small trunk, but this is a sports car/roadster folks - what do you expect? If you need to do grocery shopping for a couple, it's fine, if you have a big family, maybe not the best solution. What don't I like? Hmmm... finding someone qualified to service them is getting harder and harder. I also HATE the location of the power window switches and radio. The switches should be on the center instead of requiring user to use the opposite arm/hand to work the switch (if you're sitting in the driver's seat, you use your right hand, reaching over your stomach, to use the window switch - unless, of course, you can contort your left arm...ugh). The radio is RIGHT in front of the shifter...and, like all the gauges, impossible to read. But... we usually shut off the radio anyway... it's a convertible afterall and the sound and feel of the wind is why we bought the car. Gas mileage is great, but again... it's a tiny car, it should be. Last thing... the dorky rearview mirror with it's map lights, OnStar buttons, and big housing blocks a lot of the (SMALL) windshield - I'm looking to replace it with a newer, bezeless mirror (like in my CTS). Would I recommend this? HELL YES! IF you are considering a used Miata, S2000, SLK, or M3/M4, try the Sky or Solstice. Less expensive than the Germans, faster than the Asians, and absolutely unique.

I bought my Redline Sky new in Feb 2009 and have no regrets. It has amazing performance and handles great. A bit tough getting in to it with the top up as I'm 6' tall. It rides firmly and still has enough comfort to handle long trips without tiring one out. Very fuel stingy and I can regularly get 30mpg. My only complaint is trying to read any of the gauges with the top down. Love the looks and styling. Best feature: Styling, quality and head turning ability! Worst feature: Hard to read gauges.

The manual top is lightweight and easy and quick to put up and down. The mileage is actually better on the Red Line - they got it backwards. And most people get better mileage than the EPA estimates. I average 32-35 on the freeway and about 26 in town. You want to have fun & meet people - then buy a Sky ! People flock to it.
