| Pros: | Handling is amazing. Hugs the road like its in love with the road |
| Cons: | Rubbing noise in rear wheel well on hard off line acceleration |
This car is a dream. Worse thing I ever did was test drive it as I couldn't think about anything except how to convince my wife that it would be fun to have. On the test drive my friend and I drove it hard and chirped the tires in the first 3 gears with ease. Took a 90 degree turn and had it in a 4 wheel controlled slide and never felt out of control. My friend said, hey lets turn around and go show (his wife). At 60 km's I pulled the hand brake, did a 180, released the hand brake and once in first gear put the pedal to the floor. I couldn't believe how the car responded, no out of control slides, just tight as ever and pulled away like a race car. Had a few waves from on lookers and ranked this test drive as the funnest car I have ever driven and that compares to the nsx acura, nissan 300, mazda RX7 turbo II, Honda predule 4 wheel steering, mustang cobra, and the Mazda GSL-SE.
This car rocks and I turn 40 this year and figure it is the perfect mid life crises car!

| Pros: | Fast, handles like a dream, looks gorgeous, more fun than any car I've ever had! |
| Cons: | Limited trunk space |
My husband and I bought our Redline on a whim when we were on vacation mid-April 2008. We heard that Saturn had them in stock (finally), so we tracked down a dealership and bought our baby! For such a small car, it's exceptionally comfortable and roomy - my husband is 6' 5" and he's the one who drove it home (over 4 1/2 hours). I can't even explain how much fun we are having with the car - maybe I should rephrase that - how much fun I'm having with the car since I'm driving it to work and home. We opted for the automatic (I know, I know, not what true car enthusiasts recommend), and have no regrets. It's still a screamer and I know that I'm going to end up with a ticket probably sooner than later. We are ordering the cute little luggage rack that they now offer, so no worries about the trunk space. We have snow about 5 months out of the year and as far as I'm concerned, the car is a bargain even though I won't be driving it then! My husband's pleased because it's taken care of my gifts for Mother's Day, my birthday, our anniversary, Christmas, next year's Valentine's Day......!

| Pros: | Good fuel economy, awesome ride, turns alot of heads |
| Cons: | Not much trunk space. |
This is my first time to buy a convertable. I feel I made a very good choice. The Sky Red Line has been a dream come true. All the style and performance of more costly sports cars at a price I can afford!
Thank You SATURN for caring about us and giving the average income person a car to be proud of.

| Pros: | Incredible looks, value, decent fuel economy, the engine and trim choices |
| Cons: | chintzy interior, poor design of the top, some interior features poorly designed |
Obviously this car is designed to hit an under $30,000 base price point. It is the sexiest car under $37,000 sold in America when trimmed out with options. I wish they would have put about $200 more in the base price for a lil better interior, and $300 more into the top.
It is a specialty car and one should not fault its lack of space. If you want a car for the same price with more space buy a V6 Mustang. Ugh, suddenly sexy wins out over more convenience when you make that comparison.
The people who want more car, more features, better interior, better top etc must ask one question. Is this car going to sell with a base price at least $2,500 more money?
I do wonder what this car will be like with 36,000 miles on it and three years old. I do not think its "build quality" is near as good as the Miata. But, the Miata's quality is offset with a lot less sexiness.
This car does not make a lot of sense if it is your only car and your going to keep it long term.

| Pros: | it looks and handles like a much more expensive car than i paid for it. |
| Cons: | no trunk space |
in my experience so far with the car, my gas mileage has been A LOT better than they said. also i wouldnt have wanted or bought a sky without the turbo(redline) option. theres no sense in owning a flashy roadster without some muscle under the hood to back it up.

| Pros: | Power, Style, Comfort, Value |
| Cons: | Lack of trunk space |
I thought about not putting any cons but thought about the trunk space as the worst con for a roadster.
I have driven Nissan Z's, BMW Z3, Porsche Boxster and Cayman as well as a Mercedes 380SL. This car is by far better as an overall sports car. Power is very good, torque is a beat off but nothing a flash to the ECM won't fix. The most comfortable seats in any sports car hands down! - Great shifting from the manual (please don't get the automatic - be a real sports car driver!). I love the fact it is old school with a manual top - outside mirrors move far enough out so you actually don't have any blind spots! (Don't believe the prior reviews that there are blind spots - they just don't know how to fix mirrors to eliminate). Great sound system and warranty on the car also. The ride is extremely smooth and soft on straight roads (actually feels a bit like a large BMW 6 or 7 series in this aspect). On turns, the car is on rails!. Exit ramp that is 30MPH with a long turn can be taken at 80+ and you don't even shift in your seat and the car doesn't even show 1 sign of sliding.
By far the best sports car for the money in the market!

| Pros: | Good Fuel Economey |
| Cons: | Sometimes not fast enough |
It is a fine car but needs a little more power. But overall this car is a great car to have. The car has also a great appearance on the outside, so if you want your car to be really neat, then get the SKY.

| Pros: | Out of all roadsters this one has the most car for the money! Much better than the Solctice GXP! |
| Cons: | The only downfall is the blind spots when the top is up but that is it. |
After researching and test driving the Solstice GXP, BMW Z4 and the Honda 2000 things; the '08 Saturn Sky Redline has been the most comfortable, responsive of all. The simplicity of raising and lowering the top is a bonus.
The Saturn Sky is a definite head turner! You do get envious looks from all drivers including Solstice and Z4 drivers. Most of the drivers that I have spoken with have had nothing but compliments about the vehicle. On occasion I have been confronted by people in parking lots and gas stations asking to take pictures with them next to the sky on several occasions.
The Monsoon Sound System definitely rocks and is still loud when you have the top down flying down the highway.
In short, you get more car for your buck and the gas mileage isn't that bad either.
