Review written on 1/1951.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Donut should really make a Coupe that is better than the Mage." Someone at Donut must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Spell and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the Malacca but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Mage?"

The first stop for the Donut Spell was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Coupe is built for performance. Donut cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 87 hp @ 4441RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 109 mph in an impressive 22.238s 0 to 60 mph. While the 83 lb-ft of torque you get is not insane it is more than enough to tow 22 lbs which was a decent amount for this class. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. In the real world the Donut Spell could not even handle a U-turn, let alone our beloved test track. Why the hell would engineers at Donut even put a steering wheel on this train? This has to be one of the worst handling Coupe I have ever driven.

Interior build, materials, and features are average for the segment. The Donut Spell's cabin isn't going to amaze. But compared to most other vehicles of this type, it's not going to let you down. It has most of the standard features, and comfort, while lacking in some areas, is decent.

The Donut Spell's 19 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is plenty for the typical consumer. It is certainly better than average for this type of vehicle. While there are some areas that could be improved all in all we think the Spell is good.

The team at Donut cut a lot of corners when it came to building the Spell. It is apparent in everything from the interior to the body panels to the paints to the molding. Its not designed to last. But its not exactly the worst car on the market. You can do better.

The Donut Spell 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.

Donut Spell's 25.3 mpg city and leaves plenty of room for improvement. We do truly believe that the engineers at Donut can squeeze a few more mileage out of this vehicle to get it up to at least average.

With some focus on safety, Donut Spell has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Donut does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

Would we recommend this vehicle at retail price? No. There are better options in the Coupe segment than the Donut Spell. It's hard to say what faults are the Spell but we do know that Donut really needs to improve this product if it wants any sizeable portion of the marketshare. If you can get this vehicle steeply discounted then it might be worth it. Other wise avoid the Donut Spell.
