Review written on 6/1947.
It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important. Philadelphia Motors believes their Eagle may be the best Sedan to enter the market. How does it compare other Sedan such as the 7572 and Kalliope? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!

As always, our first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Eagle was the track. This Sedan may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 79 hp @ 3258RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Eagle to a top speed of 83 mph and drag times of 27.746s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. The engine puts out 103 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 22 lbs which is average for this class. Philadelphia Motors really did well with the Eagle when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Eagle did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Sedan 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.

The Philadelphia Motors Eagle is the definition of basic transportation. The seats feel like they're chiseled out of concrete. The dash isn't much better. And features? What features?

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Eagle it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 34 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.

It may not be much in this day and age, but the Philadelphia Motors Eagle 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 Eagle.

The Philadelphia Motors Eagle is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.

The Philadelphia Motors Eagle's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Eagle's 13.1 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.

Safety is another important topic on the minds of many. The Philadelphia Motors Eagle maintains the average amount of safety features for this type of vehicle. While not overly impressive, it should be enough to keep you alive in most cases. Don't expect miracles however.

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