Review written on 5/1954.
Competition in the Compact Car segment has just gotten a little more heated. Donut has launched the Allegheny. Is this Compact Car enough to unseat the Lackawanna or will it be worse than the F9220. Don't worry! We have the answers.

The first stop for the Donut Allegheny was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Compact Car is built for performance. Donut cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 68 hp @ 4202RPMs 1803 cc Wankel  engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 102 mph in an impressive 26.607s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 68 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. There is not much to say about the Donut Allegheny when it comes to handling. As a Compact Car it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Allegheny is mundane.

The Donut Allegheny'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 Allegheny.

When it comes time to get into the Donut Allegheny most people will find it to be a little tight. While the 17 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space does limit us, it is almost average for it's class. Overtime we got used to it. But we still think the folks at Donut should squeeze in just a little more space inside.

The Donut Allegheny has just enough labor of love in it to make it better than most other vehicles. Even though it came off an assembly line you can tell that the employees at Donut love their job. This is reflected in the quality of material and workmanship used to finish the product.

If your ideal date night is being broke down on the side of the road, then the Donut Allegheny will fulfil your wildest dreams.

Are gas prices too high now? What will they be like 10 years from now? What about 50 years from now? Does it matter? If you drive a Donut Allegheny it doesn't. The Allegheny only uses 36.2 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!

The extra effort from Donut to make the Allegheny 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.

Some may be able to point to other Compact Car and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Compact Car. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Donut Allegheny it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
