2009 Saturn Sky, CarAndDriver Consumer Review

Mileage: 2500 Style: Owned Before: I have previously owned a vehicle of this make. Pros Accelerates like an F-18 on burner. Corners like a cheetah chasing down a gazelle.

The car that reinvented this segment back in 1991, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is still the strongest contender. A quick drive in the Mazda reveals what's lacking in the base Sky roadster: the basics. It offers excellent quality, good ergonomics, and a top that raises and lowers with one hand.

That honor goes to the Honda S2000; it brings an incredibly rev-happy, 237-horsepower, 2.2-liter VTEC four-cylinder and six-speed manual that doesn't match the Red Line for straight-line performance but beats it for the tactile experience. For those seeking more power, the torquey Nissan 350Z Roadster is also worth a look. If you want to keep your money in the GM family, the Pontiac Solstice is the only choice. Mechanically identical to the Sky, it offers a different look at a slightly lower price point.
