The SKY is admired for its sleek and sexy design, but falters when it comes to performance and everyday practicality. The Saturn Sky is a two-seat convertible adding up power, more amenities than you can shake a stick at, and a stylish appearance for an affordable price.
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 Saturn Sky windscreen / windblocker, wind deflector, (or one for it’s cousin, the Pontiac Solstice windscreen / windblocker, wind deflector). With its overakk lack of room, both in the trunk and interior, this is hardly practical as an every runner. If you’re considering the SKY, test-drive a Pontiac Solstice first. 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.
Just for you, the Saturn Sky comes available in two different trim packages, the Base and the Red Line. The model out of the factory floor is powered by a 173-hp 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine and the Red Line packages 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. With the plain-jane Base package, you get: 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 Red Line 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 Saturn Sky windscreen / windblocker, wind deflector.
All told, reviewers find that the SKY offers great value and is definitely worth a look. “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 lusting after this car, this alone can make the ticket price worth it.”
