Overview
2008 Saturn SKY RED LINE Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Until the 2007 model year, Saturn didn't necessarily quite belong in the same sentence with style, performance or handling. Ever since the brand's introduction in 1990, the easy-to-purchase Saturns have been known mainly as sensible cars for small families and modest budgets. That's all changed dramatically with the debut of the SKY roadster and, especially, its recently-introduced turbocharged Red Line offshoot. Only in small details does it differ mechanically from the Pontiac Solstice, and the rear-wheel-drive two-passenger 2008 Saturn SKY—particularly in Red Line guise—sends Saturn and its potential customers into a new and unexpected automotive realm.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
If you demand responsive, high-limit handling, the 2008 Saturn SKY Red Line delivers it. It corners with precision, is remarkably flat through curves and exhibits outstanding composure. Turbocharged performance is another main attraction, though marred a bit by a slightly balky and vague manual gearbox and less-than-stirring engine response when in the upper gears. If you prefer a sports car that steers with a lighter touch and delivers a refined ride even over rougher surfaces, the 2008 Saturn SKY Red Line might not fully satisfy. Ergonomics isn't the SKY's strong point either, though most likely buyers will overlook the tight entry/exit, reflective interior surfaces, limited over-the-shoulder visibility, minimal cargo space and somewhat unsatisfactory instrumentation.
What's New for 2008
Changes to the 2008 Saturn SKY Red Line include standard AM/FM stereo with MP3-compatible CD player and XM Satellite Radio.
