The Full Sized Sedan segment is not for everyone. But the Scranton may be the vehicle for you. Philadelphia Motors sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Philadelphia Motors's headquarters to test out the Scranton. Luckily we've also tested the 5612 and the 1694 this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Full Sized Sedan community.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Scranton was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Full Sized Sedan is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 101 hp @ 3100RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 84 mph in an impressive 23.970s 0 to 60 mph. With 138 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 90 lbs. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. When we took the Philadelphia Motors Scranton out to the we were amazed at its ability to stick to the track. There was no need to let off the gas even on the tightest of corners. For a Full Sized Sedan the Scranton is extremely impressive.

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Scranton 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.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Scranton it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 46 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.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Scranton produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.

It didn't take long for us to do the dependability test on the Philadelphia Motors Scranton. Have you ever seen a piston fly through the hood of a vehicle? I have, twice, upon starting the Scranton. 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 Scranton hates me or something.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Scranton out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Scranton's ghastly 13.8 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.

While talking with engineers at Philadelphia Motors we found out that the Scranton was designed to be nuclear bomb proof. While we don't really know if that is bluster, we do sort believe them. Specially when it ran through the concrete brick during crash testing without leaving a dent on the hood.

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