Saturn Sky or Pontiac Solstice? - Page 2

stovt001 · 06-16-2008, 01:49 AM

The Sky has a very slight win in styling, but I much prefer the Solstice's pricing and standard/optional features bundling. Slight overall win to the Solstice.

Sky, looks more Corvette-like.

Almost like a Corvette mini-me!

I say the solstice is more a girls car and the sky is more manly lol.

Chevyrocker · 06-16-2008, 04:56 PM

Never thought I'd like a saturn more than a pontiac, but in this case, I do.

That's a really hard call, but the Sky looks kinda like a mini 'Vette. Very cool.

I picked the solstice.
Probably because I've always been a fan of the bathtub Porsches.

solstice coupe all the way........the sky was my choice till they announced the solstice coupe...now if they make a sky coupe i would switch my vote.

I'm a Sky fan, but I dont really fit in either one... if I was going to buy one to drive to buy lottery tickets (which is about the only thing you could fit in there with the top down and me in the driver's seat), I'd definitely get the Sky Redline

HeatherR · 12-19-2008, 08:41 AM

The Solstice for sure...although the Sky is a nice car too. I love the classes roadster curves of the Solstice, but the Sky interior has a slight edge IMO, overall though (with much thought) I chose the Solstice--GXP of course

Don't know what you are talking about buddy. My wife and I have been to Myrtle Beach twice in ours, and took enough clothes and stuff for 3 to 4 days. Plus many other places for a weekend....

As you can see from the pictures I do drive it much more than just to get Lottery tickets, If that is all I was going to do I would drive a Kia...LOL

Skyman...Prior to getting one I never thought I could travel anywhere in it, but I have been surprised how much I can squeeze in there! My husband refuses to travel in it (I think he doesn't like me being the primary driver!), but I have made many road trips with friends and it's fine. It is a tight fit, but as you know well worth it! Prior to ordering ours we swapped with another employee for a Sky and drove it for a few weeks and I never thought I would do any long distance travel in it, but once I got mine I didn't want to park it, so I figured a way to make it work! I don't think I would have been convinced until I did it myslef

BTW, we found these great duffel bags that are made to fit in the "hole" under the top. That way you can maximize that space (in a bag) and have your top down! It is a set of two that fit side by side...And they come to coordinate with the car..mine are black with red stitching like my interior!

The only thing I would agree with if you are a larger person, or very tall it could be a tight fit...especially height, but at 5'0 it's great for me!

We use plastic grocery bags to pack our stuff in... you would be surprised how much you can fit in like that.
My first Sky I put 20,000 miles on it in 6 months...from March 2006 when we got it until September 2006 when my first wife couldn't travel any more..
She passed away in October of 2006. I traded it in September 2007 for a 2008 model. and right now have 17,000 miles on it..

it was actually a joke... lol... although I'm really not sure that my wife could put enough stuff in the trunk to keep her comfortable for a weekend anywhere... she's kind of a heavy packer :P
