Saturn Sky Red Line Problems
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
A Loose or worn gas cap may cause Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Use proper care when moving convertable top
Care must be taken when opening and closing the manual convertible top. The top is prone to damage from improper use.
Clicking noise from direct injection injectors
The fuel injection system for the 2.0L turbo engine places fuel directly into the combustion chambers. This is called "direct injection". Due to the high fuel pressure associated with this type of system a noticeable clicking noise can be heard from the fuel injectors.
Rear Axle Pinion Seal May Leak
The rear axle pinion seal may leak causing fluid loss and possible internal rear end damage. Replacing the faulty seal will commonly correct this concern.

Saturn Sky Red Line Stories
I have had my Sky Red-Line for almost a year. When I bought it I had no idea that GM was going to drop this line. Everyone I know that have Saturn products are quite satisfied with them. I find driving my Sky is a new experience of what an auto can do from taking a curve to having a great pick-up and yet get 40 mpg on the road. I also feel the price of this car will become very valuable in the future.
After 2-1/2 years (28K mi) I've had the front hood scoop & trunk tension bar replaced. The driver's side inside door's handle is peeling on the interior assumed from touch wear. Overall the car is great! However, as common among most American cars (though this one is actually German) the interior is too plastic. Fortunately the interior is small minimizing the amount. Handling is superb. Comments on it's looks are copious. Few were made therefore sold so you won't see yourself all the time in a busy area.
Although the interior may suffer due to the plastic, the exterior has the allure of an exotic. The brakes are fine, however seem to fade under 30mph when braking from higher speeds. The engine has the typical "turbo lag" but once it's "on" it's exhilarating. Surprising exhaust note - that of a sports car, which is difficult to find nowadays with all the "green" getting. Air is typical GM-COLD! Suspension is stiff as expected (so go over bumps carefully) and steering very responsive.
