Review written on 5/1958.
We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Cairo. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Compact SUV out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the Hoyfit, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Cairo is better than the Giza. You'll have to read to find out.

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Cairo. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Compact SUV I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 122 hp @ 4348RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 97 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 15.779s 0 to 60 mph! The engine puts out 118 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 2409 lbs which is average for this class. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Cairo did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Compact SUV it should have better handling than it does. In most cases in the real world this shouldn't be any problem. But it is still sub-par at best. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Cairo isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.

When it comes time to get into the Philadelphia Motors Cairo most people will find it to be a little tight. While the 30 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space does limit us, it is almost average for it's class. Overtime we got used to it. But we still think the folks at Philadelphia Motors should squeeze in just a little more space inside.

The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Cairo is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Cairo is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.

Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Philadelphia Motors Cairo is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Cairo out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Cairo's ghastly 11.3 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Cairo has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

Some may be able to point to other Compact SUV and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Compact SUV. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Cairo it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
