Review written on 6/1947.
It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important. Philadelphia Motors believes their Phillie may be the best Phaeton to enter the market. How does it compare other Phaeton such as the G5723 and F2884? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Phillie. 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 Phaeton I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 59 hp @ 3788RPMs 2240 cc Flat2 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 80 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 28.331s 0 to 60 mph! We found that with 66 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Phillie when it comes to handling. As a Phaeton it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Phillie is mundane. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

The Philadelphia Motors Phillie is the definition of basic transportation. The seats feel like they're chiseled out of concrete. The dash isn't much better. And features? What features?

The Philadelphia Motors Phillie is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 30 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Phillie 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 Phillie 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.

We wouldn't call the Philadelphia Motors Phillie a truly 'green' vehicle, but it does get a very good 25.7 mpg city and which will leave your wallet full of greens, and that's good enough for us.

You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Phillie to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Phillie. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Phaeton you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Phillie but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
