Who it suits. Drivers wanting a two-seat rear-wheel-drive manual car Highway users who value the 29-MPG rating
Choose the 2010 Saturn SKY for its two-seat format, rear-wheel drive, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and five-speed manual. The 23-MPG combined rating gives a clear running-cost baseline, while the 19-MPG city result can matter more for urban use. Highway driving is rated at 29 MPG.
