Review written on 8/1964.
We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Durack Pennsylvania XT. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Touring out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the 322, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Pennsylvania XT is better than the everyone else. You'll have to read to find out.

It has been a long time since I've driven a Touring that performed as well. I really hoped that the Durack Pennsylvania XT would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Pennsylvania XT did great! The 81 hp @ 2121RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Touring the Pennsylvania XT does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Pennsylvania XT up to 94 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 22.003s 0 to 60 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 162 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 1631 lbs which is amazing! While Durack Pennsylvania XT will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. The Durack Pennsylvania XT handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Touring. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.

The interior of the Durack Pennsylvania XT is nothing short of amazing. It is beyond words to say how perfect this vehicle is. Only the finest materials in the greatest possible workmanship ever seen in this type of vehicle grace the Pennsylvania XT interior. I can not do anything but recommend the Pennsylvania XT for everyone. Durack really outdid themselves.

Inside the Durack Pennsylvania XT it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 28 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 Durack has really found something. The Pennsylvania XT seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

It is a rare occurrence to see the Durack Pennsylvania XT in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Durack knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

When it came to fuel economy testing we tried to see how far we could go in the Durack Pennsylvania XT. Our goal was to run it out of fuel. We tried and we failed. Even when the Pennsylvania XT fuel gauge was below E, it kept going! Befuddled at this we asked Durack 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 48.6 mpg. In one word, amazing.

While the Durack Pennsylvania XT is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Durack Pennsylvania XT. 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 Touring you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Pennsylvania XT but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
