2008 Saturn Sky Review:
Great looks! I think it's the best looking car made. One might disagree but you can't deny that it draws attention when out and about.
I love the looks, handling and power so much that I can dismiss its shortcomings which have been stated in other reviews.
I will say that the radios volume knob is perfectly situated for easy reach from the shifter and, at first, I thought the drink cup holder on the opposite side of the transmission hump was a bad decision but it too is actually an easy reach for the driver.
People complain about the manual top but it really isn't that big a deal, something that can be done in under a minute and much better than the old cars where you had a boot that had to be snapped on.
For decades I've thought about getting a restored 60's car because after 1970 or thereabouts all cars lost their looks, power and performance, IMHO. Now with all the new (and some old) technology out comes a car like the Sky with better handling than any of the old classic sports cars and more power and performance than the old classic muscle cars. Who would have thought that one could buy a medium price car that went from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and have a top speed of 142 mph?
I haven't been this excited about a car since my 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 and I'm a very demur person; I don't get excited easily.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Saturn Sky?
It is the most beautiful car I have ever seen, much less owned!
I have a Sky Redline - has great power and terrific gas mileage.
The Cadillac dealership has taken over service for the Saturn's and they have been great.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn Sky?
The window controls should be farther forward, very awkward.
And I wish there were a pocket on the doors...just not enough "cubbies" for phone, change, receipts, maps.
2008 Saturn Sky Review:
My best friend bought a Sky one night and told me I had to check them out. I bought mine the next day and there has not been one minute of the last 2+ years that I regretted it.
I've really learned how to "pack" the car, about the only thing I haven't gotten in it was a third person.
I've had a fuel pump replaced, and recently the water pump and a rear axle seal went out. They were all under warranty, and Cadillac did a superb job with the repairs.
It handles beautifully on wet, or slick roadways...love the traction button. The only thing that has stopped it was snow and ice that was higher than it was.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Saturn Sky?
This car is a great looking vehicle. It turns heads whever I go. It makes me feel like I am part of the car when I drive because of its balance of power and handling. I am also pleased with the sound system, XM radio and ONSTAR. The Redline is the first roadster I have ever owned and I couldn't be more pleased with the vehicle and driving experience.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn Sky?
Better position for controls on on the door and better instrumentation.
2008 Saturn Sky Review:
This car is the complete driving experience. Great looks, great handling and power when you need it. All this at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for from a cool roadster?
