When it comes to Touring it might be easy to miss Philadelphia Motors's Pennsylvania. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Touring. We'll let you know where it stands between the Whelp and the Hespera. So continue reading to find out more about the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania.


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania. 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 Touring I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 60 hp @ 2658RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 83 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 30.383s 0 to 60 mph! If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 96 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 22 lbs which is amazing! There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania when it comes to handling. As a Touring it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Pennsylvania is mundane. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Philadelphia Motors was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

Basketball players and sumo wrestlers should probably avoid the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania. If not for any other reason, the 26 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is slightly cramp for even an average sized person such as my self.

It may not be much in this day and age, but the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania is above its class average when we looked at the physical quality of the machine. While other manufacturers cut corners, Philadelphia Motors looks to keep their image and public perception high. They do a good job at that with the Pennsylvania.


Do expect major repairs over the life time of owning a Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania. This is to be expected as it's not designed to be a life long vehicle.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania. With its sub-par 15.4 mpg the Pennsylvania will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

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 Pennsylvania is average in all respects.


The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania fits the mold of your prototypical Touring. It meets all the necessary requirements of being a good Touring and at times is quite enjoyable. It may not be the best. But it is still a good Touring.
