The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Station Wagon is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 214 hp @ 4999RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 108 mph in an impressive 15.919s 0 to 60 mph. When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 180 lb-ft of torque was able to move 22 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge when it comes to handling. As a Station Wagon it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Valley Forge is mundane.

Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge. The Valley Forge has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Philadelphia Motors did a great job.

The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge gives you a sense of home away from home. With 50 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Valley Forge feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

While not exactly handmade, Philadelphia Motors did put a bit of extra work into the Valley Forge and it shows. Panels actually fit and are made to last. The finish doesn't fade in the sun, and all the bolts have washers. It begs the question why buy a lower quality car every 5 years, and not buy the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge which should last a few generations?

It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge should last a very long time.

The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Valley Forge's 15.1 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.
