I agree and I would have bought one a year or so ago until I discovered that there is no, and I mean NO, storage space. Even a Corvette has more room! What were the Saturn engineers thinking?
Dude buys a small, low to the ground, limited production convertible sportscar and then complains about things related to a small, low to the ground, limited production convertible. LOL
Right? You want side skirts and a front lip? Go get a Miata or a Honda which have plenty of parts 😂 and you also want a coupé? Go get the Pontiac solstice coupé brother 😂
i think if you consider the aftermarket "limited" you need to look into more things than cosmetic, ZZP, RPM Motorsports, BNR, etc all make great mods for the LNF (2.0t) or LE5 (2.4) motors and the platform itself. the bolt pattern is 5x110 which is pretty common and high offset issues can be fixed by spacers. 18x8s to 20x10s will fit depending in the suspension setup, if you're thinking of getting one but the "aftermarket" is deturring you, a miata would indeed be easier to ebay up
I assume judging by the fact that you didn't explain anything regarding the longevity or necessary.Maintenance regarding this vehicle would be because your mother is going to be paying for all this and it really doesn't matter too
Dude they did make a coupe. 125 to be exact they were assembled in Mexico. I have a convertible and now I am looking to buy one of the coupes I have located in Mexico. When you had custom wheels made a year ago, why didn't you put on new tires? Your front one's are dangerous.
Over here they cost less than a Volkswagen Golf..... And for the prive and THAT power it does have.... You can expect a bit of plastic only by logic. I do have had mine new in 2009 and I did only drive about 9k or so. But I had already change the motor chain and one preasure pump was not okay anymore but besided this it is a really reliable car. Mine did run at about 330-350hp and went from 350nm to 500nm and I really am having a wonderful time with it. I usually had a Turbo before and to be honest. With "only" 5 gears and the normal 264HP it does feel a bit slow.
There is a company I forget the name that makes custom hard tops for the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice. Just do a good search for Saturn Sky hard tops.
Come on bro, you do realize this is not a daily driver car but a sunny day weekend car. All your complaints would go away if you just had something that wasn't a two seater convertible with zero practicality but all fun. Just sell the car to someone who would appreciate it. Probably somebody older than 30 years old…
I love my sky. Got the 3.5 inch catalytic converter from ddmworks. i want that brace bundle as well. i have to 2.4l NA, manual. I love this car so much. Don't worry i've also smashed my fenders on speed bumps, and honestly i'm about function over form, so i'll just call it self clearence and i'm dumb for driving too fast over speed bumps. PSA IF YOU SEE ONE OF THESE CARS WE HAVE TO GO LIKE LITTERALLY 2mph OVER SPEED BUMPS sorry not sorry
OK how about my 10 First did you do any research on this car. Boy you sure have complaints. Everyone knows how Saturn's are made so saying it's made the way it is well no kidding do you know you barely move over speed bumps roadrail track you are suppose to slow down a lot bc car fly over any car get damage from speed bumps and tracks slow down. And if doing laundry use the front seat are bringing someone along. Buy washer dryer then. Oh you have to move your fingers back for windows that's really a big deal seriously. The radio you driving 80 mph where do you live of course you can't hear music. How about new music system in you knew it was a convertible. They have saturn coop no convertible. I buying a car I checking reading do everything my conclusions. You giving 10 reasons why. Why didn't research this car. Did you even test drive it look it over talk to the seller. I surprised. I think you should get new car
The Saturn Sky is very underrated. It has it's quirks but also it has some charm to it.
I agree and I would have bought one a year or so ago until I discovered that there is no, and I mean NO, storage space. Even a Corvette has more room! What were the Saturn engineers thinking?
Your speed bump you hit too fast, judging by how far back the damage was, and dude your tires are freaking bald!

I’ve never understood why hard plastics get so much grief. What do people expect?
Dude u don’t need exterior aftermarket items this car in terms of styling is on point
It is but like a nice subtle lip or spoiler would look good

For the windows I use my other arm to roll them up and down it makes it a lot easier
Smart idea

The monsoon sounds great. I’ll have to show you in my solstice. Maybe next time we hit the parkway
For sure because mine doesn't sound good at all
The worse thing I see about the car are those gold wheels.
The worst part about THIS car is the Owner
They made a coupe and I was going to buy it new at the dealer. One sold for auction recently for $80,000
They made solstice coupes if in a rare color they are worth a lot

A non convertible sky would be cool
Right it would be

they made a solstice with a targa hard top. they also make hard tops aftermarket
They made hard top coupes, just not a lot of them.
125 coups were made in Mexico. I have located one and I am considering buying it. A lot of red tape involved or I already would have bought it.
It has 13 gallon fuel tank. Dam my daily driver is like 8 gallon 💀
My car takes 16 . I see no problem stop going 80 b mph down hwy
4:50 yo that dash replacement is sick! i want a touch screen! all i have is the stock radio lol
I have a video on my channel with the install and a link to all the parts needed if you're interested
The car gets almost 30 miles to the gallon range is no better or no worse than any other in its class
IK woon in holland amsterdam en bezit een solstice geweldige auto wat een zeurpiet deze man
You complained about a lot of nothing.
I know right it's like did he even do any research drove it. Have fast did he go over speed bumps and tracks
I wonder if you could give this video without using the phrase "not very good"?
Nothing about the battery location?
real talk have you had any major issues with it during the year
Water pump, valve cover gasket and now turbo in the 60k miles I had it and went ahead and did the timing chain as preventative maintenance
I had a sky and I know they don't have a place for a spare tire but is there any way of fitting one in this car without taking up the passenger seat ?
Not really that I can think of unless it was mounted on the outside of the car like on a rack on the back
I hadn't even thought of that!

Fun fact. This is an Opel
Opel GT and also a Daewoo Gt
After market for the Pontiac Solstice is terrible.
I love my sky.
Got the 3.5 inch catalytic converter from ddmworks.
i want that brace bundle as well.
i have to 2.4l NA, manual.
I love this car so much.

sorry not sorry
Yes I definitely want the brace kit too would love to get it in the future to stiffen up the car and yeah the fenders arent great but oh well
The wind noise in your video is horrendous.😎
I bought a Solstice because I went looking for a Miata and couldn’t find what I wanted. I would’ve bought a SKY, but could find one of those either.
Also with the top down I can pack a week's worth of clothes in the trunk dude is just bitching
Now you gotta make 20 things you like about it
OK how about my 10

The constant lip smacking was actually more annoying
Y'all
Sell it to me bro
Still have a few things I need to fix but it's really ready but I might be selling it in the next new months
I also dislike those ten things
Poor man’s corvette
Unsubscribed
Okay but laundry thing is a bit subjective c'mon bro lol
Yeah It's just my opinion
Dont these have v8's?
2.0 4 cylinder turbo
What you will find on yt videos are people that customized their Sky by swapping out their 4 cylinder and cramming in a LS2 or LS3.
