Not sure what you are looking for but per this forum and it's owners there have been no issues. Do you know of any?

I do not have my Sky yet, but I do know for a fact that there are some issues with it. It's a first-year production model, so some problems are to be expected as they work the 'bugs' out. Some of the more common issues are a rear wheel rub. The rear tires rub against the wheel well causing a burning smell and some damage to the wheel well lining. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) out for this problem, so Saturn is already addressing it with a 'fix'. There are a few other minor problems, but it would be a lot easier if you just go to the www.skyroadster.com forum and read up on them. There is a lot of information at that forum from many owners who actually have taken delivery and have some miles on their cars...they would know better than anyone, what problems to expect.

Typical GM. How can you put a car into production and into dealerships with wheels that rub against the wheel wells?

Every car (whether it's a first-year production or not) is going to have some problems, and that includes non-GM cars...name me one that doesn't? Not saying that it's right, but it happens...that's what warranties are for.

Pontiac may have stuffed too large of tires into it.
 
P245/45R18 vs. Mazda's measley P205/45R17. Amazing difference in size.

Went to the dealer to look at the new Sky. I am 6'1" tall and weigh 200 pounds, got in to the drivers seat and my knees were pressed against the dash with the seat all the way back.
 
Had to get out of there right away but it was very hard to exit even though my shoes are only size nine.
 
I fit into the Mazda Miata just fine and think anyone who is over 5'7" tall would have extreme difficulty driving the Sky.
 
Now I know why General Motors is having financial problems. They are producing junk and the American people are too smart for them. Shame on them!!!

That is pure bull. I have been in the Solstice and there is plenty of room for a 6'er. In fact the specs (here at Edmunds) show that there is less than a .5" difference in legroom and the Solstice has 1 more inch of headroom.
 
If you are are 6'1" and really have only size 9 shoes you have other problems.

Corvette beat me to the punch.
 
Your claim is nonsense.
 
There is less than an inch difference between the Miata and Sky leg room and shoulder room.
 
The Sky has slightly better head room. Again, less than an inch.
 
the Sky is not part of any GM sales problem. The Sky and Solstice are sold out this year. They are outselling the new Miata by a long shot.

I'm only 5' 11" and I cannot get the steering wheel to adjust high enough to not block the main portion of the instrument binnacle. I did check to see that the seat was in its lowest and most rearward position.
 
My line of sight was right into the top of the windshield header.

Sorry you don't understand english! It sounds like this car is perfect for you and if so I am happy for you.
 
You deserve the sky and I hope you will be very happy together.
 
Again, the car is too small for me. Can you understand that without foaming at the mouth, didn't mean to make you mad Sonny.
