Who it suits. Drivers wanting a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive car Manual-transmission shoppers Highway-focused use
The 2010 Saturn SKY makes sense for a driver who specifically wants two seats, rear-wheel drive, and a five-speed manual. Expect 22 MPG combined, with city driving at 19 MPG and highway driving at 26 MPG. EPA’s annual fuel estimate is $3,050, and tailpipe CO2 is 403.95 grams per mile. Consider it when passenger capacity is secondary to this powertrain and layout.
What it is
The 2010 Saturn SKY is a two-seat car powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. It sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
Its defining EPA figure is 22 MPG combined. That blends the 19 MPG city rating with the 26 MPG highway rating.
The numbers
City driving is rated at 19 MPG, while highway driving is rated at 26 MPG. The combined figure is 22 MPG.
Tailpipe CO2 is listed at 403.95 grams per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates fuel at $3,050 a year for this SKY. That estimate applies to its gasoline powertrain and 22 MPG combined rating.
Frequent city use will follow the lower 19 MPG figure. Longer highway trips align more closely with 26 MPG.
How it compares
Use the same combined, city, and highway MPG figures when weighing this SKY against similar two-seat cars. Its rear-wheel drive, manual transmission, and gasoline engine also shape the comparison.
For other models from the same maker, see Saturn cars.
Who it suits
The SKY fits a driver who wants a two-seat car with rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. Its EPA numbers make the highway rating more favorable than its city rating.
It also suits buyers who want to plan around a published annual gasoline cost of $3,050.
Trade-offs
Two seats limit passenger space. The 19 MPG city rating can mean higher fuel use in stop-and-go driving than on the highway.
The manual five-speed and rear-wheel-drive layout define how it drives, while the gasoline engine brings the listed annual fuel cost and CO2 output.
Verdict
Choose the 2010 Saturn SKY if two seats, rear-wheel drive, and a manual transmission match your priorities. Its 22 MPG combined result is moderate, with highway trips rated at 26 MPG and city travel at 19 MPG. Budget $3,050 each year for EPA-estimated fuel use. This is a focused choice for a driver who accepts limited seating and gasoline running costs in exchange for the SKY’s compact two-seat layout.
