Who it suits. Drivers wanting a two-seat rear-wheel-drive gasoline car Open-road use where the 27 MPG highway rating applies
The 2010 Saturn SKY makes sense for someone who specifically wants a two-seat rear-wheel-drive car with a turbocharged four-cylinder and automatic transmission. Its 27 MPG highway figure is more favorable than its 19 MPG city result, so frequent urban trips will work against its fuel budget. EPA's $3,050 annual fuel estimate and 403.95 grams-per-mile tailpipe CO2 give the running-cost picture. If you need extra seats, this body style is a poor match.
What it is
The 2010 Saturn SKY is a two-seat car with rear-wheel drive. It uses gasoline and a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.
Its defining EPA figure is 22 MPG combined. That is the single number to use for a quick view of its fuel use.
The EPA numbers
The SKY is rated at 19 MPG in city driving and 27 MPG on the highway. The combined rating is 22 MPG, blending those two conditions.
Tailpipe carbon dioxide is listed at 403.95 grams per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA lists annual gasoline cost at $3,050. That figure puts the SKY's fuel expense in clear dollar terms for a year of driving.
The 19 MPG city rating means stop-and-go trips use more fuel than highway travel rated at 27 MPG.
How it compares
Use the SKY's 22 MPG combined figure when weighing it against other Saturn cars. Its 19 city and 27 highway ratings show how the split changes with driving conditions.
Who it suits
The SKY suits a buyer who needs two seats and wants rear-wheel drive in a gasoline car. Its highway rating of 27 MPG favors longer open-road trips over city-heavy use.
Trade-offs
The SKY's 2.0-liter turbo engine and rear-wheel-drive setup come with a 22 MPG combined rating. City driving falls to 19 MPG, while highway use reaches 27 MPG.
It has two seats, so the body style limits carrying space compared with cars designed for more passengers.
Verdict
Choose the 2010 Saturn SKY if a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive layout is central to your decision and its gasoline costs fit your budget.
The numbers point to a car that uses fuel more efficiently on the highway than in town, with a stated annual fuel cost of $3,050. Buyers who regularly carry more than one passenger should look elsewhere.
