Review written on 6/1929.
Competition in the Luxury Sedan segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Procession. Is this Luxury Sedan enough to unseat the Senator or will it be worse than the Nymph. Don't worry! We have the answers.
Normally we take the vehicles out to the track as our first test. And to be honest we tried, but the Philadelphia Motors Procession is so slow that it took us nearly 3 hours just getting out of the parking lot.
And that shows you how dreadful this Luxury Sedan is. The 26 hp @ 1693RPMs 1666 cc V4 engine is grossly underpowered. Interestingly enough if you waited all week you could power the Procession up to a top speed of 37 mph and accelerate full throttle with a Not Applicable time. The sub-par 66 lb-ft of torque, the vehicle was only able to handle towing 1175 lbs which means you shouldn't use this for your boat. When it comes to driveability, we wished that all the roads in the world were straight. Sadly they're not, it is unfortunate that the Philadelphia Motors Procession could not handle like its Luxury Sedan peers. In no way can I recommend this vehicle for anyone who drives on the road. It is an accident waiting to happen.So in a nut shell the Procession is as slow as a rock. The only way to make it move is to push it off a cliff.
We were mortified when we began our interior testing of the Philadelphia Motors Procession. This vehicle lacks basic features you'd expect in a toy car, let alone a vehicle that costs this much. The flint stones had more comfortable rides. It is because of the abhorrent lack of oversight by Philadelphia Motors that we have no reason to recommend this vehicle when it comes to comforts.
The Philadelphia Motors Procession is not exactly roomy. You can fit normal people in it, maybe a bag or two. But not much else. You probably wouldn't want to be in it for long, and your certainly wouldn't want to use it to transport anything in bulk. The Procession's 32 cu-ft of passenger and cargo space leave a lot to be desired. Many vehicles in its class are much more spacious. So be warned. This may not be the perfect fit for you.
At first glance you might of thought it to be a cheap poorly made toy. Maybe it's one of those life sized cutouts? But no my friends, this is the real deal, this is the Philadelphia Motors Procession and it's has god awful quality.
It didn't take long for us to do the dependability test on the Philadelphia Motors Procession. Have you ever seen a piston fly through the hood of a vehicle? I have, twice, upon starting the Procession. Third time was a charm though, and we got this baby on the road, only to have the wheel fall off. We put the wheel back on, drive for about 5 minutes, and then it caught on fire. I think the Philadelphia Motors Procession hates me or something.
At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Procession out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Procession's ghastly 12.5 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.
On the topic of safety, the Philadelphia Motors Procession is highly recommended for suicidal drivers who are not afraid of spontaneous combustion.
Ultimately the Philadelphia Motors Procession is one of the worst vehicles I have ever driven. Philadelphia Motors should be ashamed of making such crap. Only a pure idiot would buy such junk. There are much better Luxury Sedan on the market to choose from. Hell walking beats this rubbish. Even if it is a cross continental trip!
