Review written on 6/1947.
The new Sunflower looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Coupe 2+2 segment. This new Coupe 2+2 has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Sunflower to the top of your buying list above Drochterland? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Sunflower? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!
The day started right when I was picked to drive the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower on the track. The Sunflower is a is pretty fast for a Coupe 2+2. Its 79 hp @ 3258RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 85 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 25.092s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower is a fantastic track Coupe 2+2. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Coupe 2+2 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.
Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower. The Sunflower 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.
Inside the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 31 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space ensures that you always have plenty of room to do whatever it is you need to do. And that makes us happy.
The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Sunflower seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.
The Philadelphia Motors Sunflower is not a particularly reliable car. In fact, it is quite downright bad. We suffered a catastrophic brake failure in just a couple of days testing a new car. While this might be a fluke, we wouldn't bet on it from the complaints we've heard.
Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Sunflower gets an abysmal 14.7 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.
If safety was your priority, then this isn't the best on the market. That being said it's better than a lot of vehicles as well. The folks at Philadelphia Motors didn't make safety their focus, but there are enough features here to keep most people's minds at ease. And that's pretty much the jest of the thing. The Philadelphia Motors Sunflower is average in all respects.
Some may be able to point to other Coupe 2+2 and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Coupe 2+2. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
