Konig Wheels
RK Sport Ground effects
Turbo kit from Alpine Developments
Exhaust by Exhaust Pro's
and HP Tuners

Wise Choice in color if you want The Fastest

Well, as prices go.... IN MY OPINION.... i think you should go NEW.. whichever one you want, the differences between used and new arent much.... I am sure whatever you decide it will be awesome... and BTW.... BLACK IS THE FASTEST...... SkyBaby

Wish I could contribute, ours has been garaged since we brought it home 3 Jan....worst winter I can remember in 18 years, continual snow and such, never melts, all unusual for Colorado. And the new Hazard? The potholes....all over the place because of the melting and refreezing...I will be a wreck when we finally get out...

Colorado Springs.....

In response to your question about driving these cars once the weather turns. . .

First, recommend you PUT ON A SET OF WINTER TIRES!!. I mounted Blizzak WS50s, but the Blizzak Revos work well also.

With traction control, abs, etc. these cars run just as well or better than anything else out there. Over about 4 inches and you're a snow plow, so recommend it stay in the garage after a deep snow.

The Jan 29th, 2007 (I think) Autoweek had a good run down on winter driving myths. One myth they debunked was that rear wheel drive cars don't do well in the snow.

CBS this morning had a pretty good run down on winter tires.

Bottom line: Most 4 wheel drives might start faster, but with modern winter rubber, you'll handle and stop better than they will.

We don't have too many miles on the Sky yet, but bad roads have not been a problem!

Have Fun!!

In many places the price of a used SKY exceeds the cost of a new one... Don't expect a bargin
