The media has blown a lot of smoke over the last few months over Philadelphia Motors's new Full Sized Sedan. It has stiff competition though from market leaders like the Scranton and even the bottom feeders like the Marlow. Does the Altoona live up to the hype? Find out more below!

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Altoona suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Full Sized Sedan. The Altoona's 82 hp @ 2738RPMs 4121 cc Flat4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 26.130s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 80 mph. The Altoona is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 80 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 126 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 143 lbs which is amazing! On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Altoona is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Full Sized Sedan would not be able to keep up with the Altoona on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Full Sized Sedan I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Altoona and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

The Philadelphia Motors Altoona gives you a sense of home away from home. With 44 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Altoona feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Altoona seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

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

At 13.1 mpg, the Philadelphia Motors Altoona isn't exactly an economic vehicle. It won't break your bank when fuel prices are low, but when fuel prices are normal or even high, it can be painful at the pump.

The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Altoona 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.

When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Altoona is one of the best Full Sized Sedan on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Full Sized Sedan, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Altoona. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
