Description:

I bought this car new at Saturn of Doylestown, PA just before I found out I would be working and living overseas for a while. My brother flew in and we drove it to Seattle where he kept it garaged and/or covered until my return move to Seattle last year. It just had a 15k service, runs great and is in fantastic condition inside and out! No accidents... only the remote key system requires attention.
Overview
The Saturn Sky and Sky Red Line rear-wheel-drive (RWD) roadsters for 2008 are carryover from 2007, with a few notable changes. Now-standard features include electronic stability control, a new radio, and XM satellite radio. The Sky, which shares its platform with thePontiac Solstice, added the performance-oriented Red Line trim in 2007.

For 2008, Saturn offers the RWD 2-seater Sky and Sky Red Line roadster models with standard manual transmission. An automatic transmission is optional on both models. Both models include air conditioning; remote keyless entry; power windows, door locks and mirrors; reclining bucket seats; cloth convertible top with power controls; 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS; and a limited-slip differential (optional on Sky, standard on Red Line). The standard Sky model comes with a 173-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and 18-inch alloy wheels. Sky options include 18-inch chrome-plated wheels, performance exhaust system, and a decklid spoiler. A Premium Trim package that includes leather seat inserts, steering wheel audio controls, stainless-steel pedal covers, and metallic finish sill plates is available for Sky only.

Powertrain
The 2008 Saturn Sky is powered by a 2.4-liter, 16-valve 4-cylinder engine with variable valve timing (VVT) that generates 173 hp at 5800 rpm and 166 lb.-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm. The Sky Red Line powerplant is a 2.0-liter, dual overhead cam (DOHC) with VVT, 16-valve, turbocharged, intercooled 4-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection and twin balance shafts that delivers 260 hp at 5300 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at 2500-5200 rpm. Both engines transfer power to the rear wheels through the standard 5-speed manual transmission, with a 5-speed automatic available. Electronic stability control and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS are standard. A limited-slip differential is standard on Red Line and available on Sky. EPA fuel-economy estimates for the 2.4-liter engine are 19 mpg city/25 mpg highway with manual transmission, and 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway in automatic configuration.
