Lovin' it

2009 Saturn Sky Red Line 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Bought my Ruby Red Redline for my 40th birthday 3 months ago and have put about 1600 miles on it so far. I will be putting it away in the winter months. Gas milage is around 30 mpg - not much different than my 2007 Honda Accord v4. Top operation is not so tough as some suggest - I can put the top up and down while sitting in the driver's seat - still have to get out to close the trunk and lock the buttresses - but well worth the effort. Took the wife on a weekend trip and had plenty of trunk space with top down - just need to pack carefully. Gets lots of attention.

Yes - It's an Orphan now!.. Too bad GM wasn't able to keep Saturn viable - So now The Sky is a collector car, and an exciting one at that. Sure, the interior and dash are plasticy, and there's hardly a place for sunglasses or 2 cups of Starbucks, but my God what a looker!..I knew the the top action was a little Rube Goldberg and the trunk is almost non-existent. But, after I drove one and checked it out, Wow! Plenty of grunt, nice quick steering, firm, sporting suspension- exhaust note a little timid, but sounds nice when you can hear it. And that styling..This is balls out the greatest. I owned a bunch of notable and not so notable cars. Raced some of them at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock.

If you are giving bad reviews to this car I suspect that you drive an SUV or pickup truck. The Saturn Sky Redline is the most trouble free car I have ever driven in my lifetime. More fun to drive than my Corvette and way less issues than my XLR. Better handling and way better performance that my various Celicas. I have also driven numerous rental cars that are nowhere as fun to drive. For about $3500.00 you can turn the LNF engine into a 440HP monster. Nothing and I mean NOTHING comes close to having the performance, handling and looks for the price.

First of all this should never be your primary means of transport. This is strictly a toy. If you want to rationalize anything other than that, then I'm sorry, but you're kidding yourself. That said, if you want a toy, I doubt you will have more fun or get more attention than buying a Saturn Sky Redline. They definitely have their quirks, but if bought for the right price, with the right mods... you have a mature males dream car. The best description I ever heard of the car is that it's "sex on wheels". Call it what you will..it's a mini corvette that will "run with anything". I have a saying "my car is made for the twists, but if all you can do is go straight...I'll run with you!!". Absolutely just a great time. I've had Porsches and Shelby's give me the thumbs up. I'm not a racer, but "on the strip" or "on the highway"...it's easy to have fun and be respected. Get the car... order a "Pro-Beam" to fix the suspension and get the "Trifecta budget Tune" and you'll be 19 forever...just be responsible while you're having fun.
