The SKY is admired for its sleek and sexy design, but falters when it comes to performance and everyday practicality. The Saturn Sky combines power, great amenities, and killer looks, for a two-seater car.
Widely praised for its head-turning design, the 2009 SKY makes a fun drop-top cruiser, but falls below its competitors in terms of performance. When you put the top down, then you better purchase a windscreen.. This car is poorly designed with bad ergonomics; suffice to say, the worshipped cup holder doesn’t do much for you. If you’re considering the SKY, then you need to also take the Pontiac Solstice for a spin. The both the Solstice and Sky are built on the same platform, with the Sky, you can get a coupe with a removable hard targa top. Also, if you’re considering this car, then also consider the MX-5 Miata, and this car really still kicks it.
You get two different trim package choices, the Base or the Red Line trim. The standard model is powered by a 173-hp 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine and the Red Line has a 260-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Both engines are mated to a five-speed manual or an optional five-speed automatic transmission. The Base comes equipped with: electronic traction and stability control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, 18-inch alloy wheels, satellite radio, cruise control, a security system, and power mirrors, windows and door locks with remote keyless entry. The cool Red Line package adds: dual-exhaust tips, sport-tuned suspension, leather shift knob and steering wheel audio controls. In the end, one of the must-have accessories is the windscreen.
Considering all, the Sky provides great value for a sports car; it’s worth a gander. “The 2009 Saturn Sky is, first and foremost, a good-looking car,” writes Edmonds. You drive this car, and people in parking lots will come up to you and start conversations. For those salivating over this vehicle, well, that alone is worth the price of admission.”
