13. Saab 900 NG
When it debuted in 1993, the Saab 900 was offered with 2 different body styles: 3 or 5 door. Engine options were a 2.0 liter 130 horsepower, 2.3 liter 150 horsepower, or 2.0 liter turbocharged 185 horsepower engines. Enthusiasts flocked to the Turbo SE model of the Saab 900, and they were not disappointed. The 900 had a well made suspension, able to handle most of what was thrown at it, and easily upgraded to make it more competent. The Saab 900 also offered a specialty transmission for their Turbo SE model: The Sensonic system. In effect, the Sensonic system retained a conventional gear lever but dispensed with the clutch pedal, using instead a hydro-electric cylinder to work the clutch (a specially beefed up unit) very rapidly when the system sensed that the lever was being moved, effectively letting you rip through gears.
