I always read or hear people complain about the “complicated” manual convertable top of the Sky. I own the redline and find that the top is not as difficult to stow or put up as everyone seems to think. As far as trunk space; lets face it folks, you don’t buy a car like this to stuff luggage in it! This is not a family car, it’s a roadster! If you want a car you can put luggage in and take on family vacations, buy a van! BTW, the drivers seat can lower, with the push of a button. I’m 5′10 and have no problem driving this fantastic car!

I think there nice cars, but I doubt I’d buy one, not enough room. I’m about the same size 5′7ish 185ish. I sat in one and they are cramped, had they been a bit wider, it would of been nice. I prefer hardtops as well, don’t care for drop tops. Too bad the new SS Cobalt isn’t rwd or awd.

im 6′2″ and about 185 and i had the seat back and down as far as i could and it was kind of snug but i had good control of the car i drove the gxp soltice that my cousin own it got good power i was suprised

Yea I’m only 6′ but couldn’t fit comfortably in the PASSENGER seat of a Solstice at the auto show… and I tried to adjust is every way possible. Which sucks cause my 5′2″ GF like the car a lot, but if I can’t fit in it at all… shes gonna be stuck riding shotty in the Impala…

I like the look of these cars and the performance (without actually driving one) of themw ith 260 horsepower in such a light car, but i’m 6 foot 2, at the autoshows i’ve checked these and the solstices out, if i was going for a cruise around the block i could pull it off, anything farther and this is definitely NOT the car 4 me

Being the owner of a 2008 Solstice GXP I can see where you are coming from when you speak about loving riding in this little roadster.

As for the seating, it’s possible you just needed to adjust your seat. On the 2008 Sky and Solstice there is a power lift on the seat and it sounds like yours was lifted all the way up.

Try the Solstice next time, you will love that too.

ok so about the fitting issues im 5 10 (aveage right) and i loved the tightness of this car. i test drove a yellow redline with the manual and this little car has serious balls, it is a consistant pull, not jerky like others ive driven and with the seat Lowered the center and dash just wrapped around me and those hugging seats were the best. THIS CAR HAS TO BE TAKEN FOR WHAT IT IS A 2DOOR CONVERTABLE, they arent made for PRACTICALITY, JUST FOR GREAT SUNDAY DRIVES AND “SPIRITED” DRIVING ON WINDY ROADS!
I LOVED THIS CAR (and theyre cheap too)
