Review written on 5/1954.
We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Donut Maryland. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Touring out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the Pennsylvania Sport, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Maryland is better than the C6854. You'll have to read to find out.

The first stop for the Donut Maryland was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Touring is built for performance. Donut cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 87 hp @ 4441RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 99 mph in an impressive 24.907s 0 to 60 mph. With this 83 lb-ft of torque can tow 22 lbs. Once again. Not great, but not bad. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. The Donut Maryland handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Touring. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.

While the Donut Maryland won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Maryland does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

The Donut Maryland gives you a sense of home away from home. With 26 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Maryland feels like a second living room. Which was what Donut was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Donut thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

Donut has really put some effort into the production of the Maryland. And it shows in the construction quality of the machine. Panel gaps are non-noticeable. Nothing shakes or rattles when driving down the road. It's a well-built vehicle.

The Donut Maryland was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

The 21.8 mpg city and might not look great. And it isn't. But there are worst options out there. That is no excuse however. The Donut Maryland needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.

The extra effort from Donut to make the Maryland feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

When it comes down to it, the Donut Maryland is one of the best Touring on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Touring, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Maryland. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
