When it comes to Shooting Brake it might be easy to miss Philadelphia Motors's Arrow. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Shooting Brake. We'll let you know where it stands between the everyone else and the Rigorous. So continue reading to find out more about the Philadelphia Motors Arrow.

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Arrow. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Shooting Brake I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 184 hp @ 4560RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 92 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 18.886s 0 to 60 mph! We found that with 170 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. Compared to its peers in the Shooting Brake class the Philadelphia Motors Arrow selling point should not be driveability. The Arrow offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Arrow 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 Arrow gives you a sense of home away from home. With 59 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Arrow 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 workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Arrow is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.

I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Arrow in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Arrow's 15.0 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.

While the Philadelphia Motors Arrow 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.

When it comes to Shooting Brake there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Arrow the best Shooting Brake I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
