2007 Saturn Sky Used Price Estimates

Finally, a Saturn to get excited about. Though not as nimble or refined as a Mazda Miata, the 2007 Saturn Sky is nevertheless a willing canyon companion. This, in combination with its sharp styling, low price and everyday comfort, makes it a solid choice for a small roadster.

Hello, sunshine. The new 2007 Saturn Sky brings some welcome warmth and activity to the Saturn brand. This is the division's first convertible, and its impact on the otherwise dowdy Saturn lineup could be equated to having Maria Sharapova show up at a pick-up tennis match full of middle-aged and badly dressed men. Fun to drive and relatively easy on the wallet, the Sky's attractive shape will certainly turn a lot of bystanders' heads. For the starting price of approximately $ 23,000, the Sky provides a lot of value for the money.

Like its corporate cousin, the Pontiac Solstice, the Saturn Sky is a two-seat, rear-drive roadster with a manually operated convertible top. The two cars are built on the same chassis, which draws inspiration from the Chevrolet Corvette in that they utilize hydroformed longitudinal rails and are quite stiff. The Sky and Solstice also have very similar dimensions and curb weights and use the same powertrain. The Sky receives differentiation through its altered interior and exterior styling and some minor differences in equipment levels and suspension tuning.

Like the Solstice, the Sky can be a fun roadster to drive. Even the base model, with its big 18-inch wheels and tires, provides a high level of grip. The 2.4-liter engine, while not exactly a model of refinement, provides enough gusto to keep one's attention from waning. The turbocharged Saturn Sky Red Line, with its 260-horsepower engine and stiffer suspension tuning, is a major performance bargain; Saturn says it can do zero to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds.

The main downside to the 2007 Saturn Sky is a lack of refinement that permeates just about every aspect of the car. While the Sky is entertaining up to a certain point, more demanding drivers will be frustrated by its slow throttle response, numb steering and bland exhaust note. In addition, the trunk is more of a "trunkette," and the interior lacks storage space and proper ergonomics.

Choosing between the Sky and Solstice will come down mainly to your preference in styling, and availability at the dealership. Alternatively, one can check out the Mazda Miata, which was fully redesigned for the 2006 model year. The Miata is a little more expensive, but it boasts a higher level of quality and a more interactive driving experience. Overall, however, the Sky is certainly the most exciting product to come out since Saturn's inception and will no doubt please dedicated Saturn fans and others seeking a great-looking roadster with a relatively low price tag.

The 2007 Saturn Sky is a small two-seat convertible. There are two trim levels available: base and Red Line. Standard equipment highlights include 18-inch wheels, a manual cloth top with a glass rear window, automatic headlights, keyless entry, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, air-conditioning and a six-speaker audio system with a CD player. One can upgrade the audio system to a more powerful seven-speaker system that also has an MP3-compatible in-dash CD changer and the option for satellite radio. An optional Premium Trim package adds leather seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with mounted audio controls, and a bit of flashy metallic trim for the sill plates and pedals. The Saturn Sky Red Line is similarly equipped but also has a special interior and exterior styling details, a sport-tuned suspension, performance tires and a standard limited-slip rear differential.

Base Saturn Sky models come with a 2.4-liter, inline four-cylinder engine that develops 177 hp and 166 lb-ft of torque. The Sky Red Line has a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with direct injection. It's capable of 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both cars send their power to the rear wheels through a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed automatic.

Antilock disc brakes are standard equipment. So is OnStar, GM's telematics system. Side airbags aren't offered, but stability control is standard on the Red Line trim.

When thrown into a corner, the Sky tends toward safe understeer unless provoked with the throttle. Most drivers will find the car's substantial lateral grip and quick steering enjoyable enough to make the Sky a fun and engaging canyon companion. Ride quality is quite acceptable for normal day-to-day use, and the Sky is a better highway cruiser than the Miata. The base 2.4-liter Ecotec engine, which is pretty much the same engine found in a multitude of GM economy-oriented products, is merely adequate in terms of acceleration and refinement. Thankfully, the Sky Red Line is a more serious performance companion thanks to its more powerful engine and stiffer suspension tuning. It's impressively quick in a straight line, but numb steering and an imprecise throttle prevent the driver from obtaining a true connection to the car when driving hard on curvy roads.

Though dainty roadsters aren't typically known for having roomy cabins, the 2007 Saturn Sky is better than most in terms of offering enough room for large occupants to stretch out. A wraparound dash and high door sills surround the driver like the cockpit of a fighter jet, and bolstered seats are comfortable and supportive. The transmission tunnel is unusually wide, though, which can put the squeeze on larger drivers, while eliminating any possibility of center storage space. The Sky's retractable top is also a bit fussy; lowering it requires the driver to turn a latch on the windshield, pop the rear deck lid with a button in the glovebox, then get out of the car and manually fold the top down into its well before slamming the rear deck closed. It's not difficult, but it is tedious compared to the MX-5's one-handed operation. We're also not fans of the Sky's trunk, which provides just 5.4 cubic feet of space with the top up.

Though it's no BMW in terms of refinement, the Red Line experience is reminiscent of BMW's Z4. Relatively high steering effort translates to a heavy overall feel. This two-seater maneuvers effectively and hugs the road tenaciously. Although the engine delivers an impressive flow of power, if you're not in the optimum gear with a manual-shift model, don't expect startling response. Exhaust sounds aren't especially inspiring. Sitting atop the console, the short gearshift lever is actually in good position for gear changes, though the clutch engages at a surprisingly low point on the pedal. A test model suffered from annoying engine ticking.

Sensuously-Shaped BodyCan this really be a Saturn? Anyone who's turned away from prior Saturn products due to humdrum appearances is sure to be shocked by the first close look at the SKY - which looks even more voluptuous in Red Line form.Turbocharged Direct-Injection EngineSaturn deserves credit not only for giving this small-displacement engine abundant power, but for doing so without a sharp drop in gas mileage. In fact, the Red Line's turbo earns EPA fuel-economy estimates that beat the base-model's larger, less-potent four-cylinder engine.

Squeezing into the SKY's cockpit may demand some twitchy contortions, but its seats are snugly satisfying - eager to keep you tautly in position through enthusiastic driving maneuvers. The Red Line-specific speedometer and tachometer are so deep-set that they're difficult for some eyes to read easily in the daytime, and the tiny gas gauge is virtually invisible. No other conventional instruments are mounted on the dashboard, which relies instead on digital readouts for additional information. Excessive chrome brightwork can result in distracting glare on sunny days. With the top down, space in the back-hinged trunk shrinks from meager to nearly non-existent.

Among the shapeliest roadsters on the market, the SKY and its Solstice counterpart attract attention even from the uninitiated - especially when sprayed in Sunburst Yellow, which almost stuns the eyes of onlookers. Compared to the base model, the front end of the Red Line roadster flaunts several unique styling touches, including functional brake-cooling vents. A larger mesh pattern in the lower grille is intended to improve airflow toward the engine. Red Line headlamps differ, too, with black bezels instead of chrome. Flangeless, five-spoke polished aluminum-alloy wheels hold 18-inch tires. Putting the fabric top up or down isn't the easiest task.

Standard Red Line equipment includes a five-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, GM's StabiliTrak stability-enhancement system and a performance-tuned suspension. Inside are a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls and a digital turbo boost gauge. Dual polished aluminum exhaust outlets release the turbocharged engine's gases. Red Line models feature stainless steel pedal covers and metallic sill plates. The SKY roadster also has anti-lock braking (ABS), foglamps, GM's OnStar emergency/communications system, keyless remote entry and power windows/doors/mirrors. Due to limited trunk space, no spare tire is included.

For $ 850, a five-speed automatic transmission can replace the standard five-speed manual gearbox, though for performance enthusiasts the stick-shift SKY may extract stronger reactions from the turbo engine. Additional options include a six-CD changer with Monsoon sound, XM Satellite Radio, leather-surfaced seat trim, chrome wheels and a rear spoiler.

In contrast to the base-model SKY's 177-horsepower engine, the SKY Red Line has a 260-horsepower, 2.0-liter Ecotec four-cylinder, driving a five-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic transmission. Direct-injection technology sends fuel directly into the combustion chambers of the turbocharged engine to produce greater power with less fuel consumption2.0-liter in-line 4 Turbocharged260 horsepower @ 5300 rpm260 lb.-ft. of torque @ 2500-5200 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/31 (manual), 21/29 (automatic)

In Red Line form the SKY roadster has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 29,025. That's $ 3,700 more than the price of a base-model SKY. The Fair Purchase Price, which represents what consumers are actually paying, is likely to be significantly higher. Especially when the cars were first available, eager shoppers were paying more than $ 1,000 (on average) above MSRP to be among the first to drive one home. Be sure to click on prices to check what the SKY Red Line is currently selling for in your area. Late in 2006 transaction prices appeared to be easing a bit. With the SKY Red Line, Saturn competes mainly against the closely-related Pontiac Solstice GXP, which uses the same powertrain but starts more than $ 1,900 lower. Outside the GM stable, the SKY's only real rival is the long-lived but still popular, if less-powerful, Mazda MX-5 Miata. Most other competitors, such as the Audi TT, BMW Z4, Nissan 350Z and Honda S2000, are priced significantly higher. In terms of resale value, we predict that the SKY Red Line will perform exceptionally well over time. The SKY Red Line is expected to retain 50 percent of its original value over a 60-month period, which is on par with the Pontiac Solstice GXP but well ahead of most competitors (except for the Honda S2000).
