#23 of 24 Sky in midwest winter? by heybuddy May 24, 2009 (7:36 pm)
I'm contemplating buying a new Sky. I live in the midwest and was wondering if anyone could tell me how the Sky handles in winter weather. Can you drive it? Or do you need to park it? Thanks.

Buy the car! I live in a canyon in Utah and park it for the winter. I wouldn't sell it for anything,and love it when the weather is nice. I drove lots of cars before buying it and it fit the best. I'm 6'3" and long legged, couldn't fit in a Ferrari I could afford (328 348 355), nor the Lotus Esprit. But your question is regarding winter weather handling. It is light in the rear (48% weight), torque is high at the low end, tires are fat. It will not handle well in ice, slick snow, and probably will end up getting hurt. Get it anyway. Buy some foo foo car (used front wheel or 4wd) and leave your girlfriend in the garage when it is naughty out. I think these things could well become collectors items, I'm not well to do nor a collector. All of the negative things written about them are somewhat limited in their scope. They are fast, if set up right handle well,and pleasant to drive. Economy is very good. Averaged 37 mpg over 110 mi. of hilly road. Get it, store it
