Review written on 5/1954.
We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Compact Car out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the F9220, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Lackawanna is better than the everyone else. You'll have to read to find out.

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna. 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 Car I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 68 hp @ 4202RPMs 1803 cc Wankel  engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 98 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 26.455s 0 to 60 mph! We found that with 68 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. The Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Compact Car. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

The Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Lackawanna.

Basketball players and sumo wrestlers should probably avoid the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna. If not for any other reason, the 19 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is slightly cramp for even an average sized person such as my self.

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

The Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

When it came to fuel economy testing we tried to see how far we could go in the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna. Our goal was to run it out of fuel. We tried and we failed. Even when the Lackawanna fuel gauge was below E, it kept going! Befuddled at this we asked Philadelphia Motors engineers how this is possible. They showed us their Motor Bunny fuel system, which just keeps going and going and going and going for an impressive 41.3 mpg. In one word, amazing.

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna 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.

When it comes to Compact Car there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna the best Compact Car I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
