Review written on 8/1964.
Many vehicles come and go. Most are duds like the 322 but a few stand out like the Pennsylvania XT. So this month, we'll be looking at the Pennsylvania to see where it stands out among the crowd. Is this new Philadelphia Motors a keeper? Or should it rust away with time?
The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Touring is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 109 hp @ 5208RPMs 2162 cc I4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 102 mph in an impressive 21.856s 0 to 60 mph. The sub-par 88 lb-ft of torque, the vehicle was only able to handle towing 22 lbs which means you shouldn't use this for your boat. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. When it comes to handling, the Touring segment has very few models that are better than the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.
The strongest selling point of the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Pennsylvania is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania gives you a sense of home away from home. With 28 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.
The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.
The folks over at Philadelphia Motors did a good job when it came to fuel economy. The Pennsylvania gets a 28.0 mpg city and which is nothing to scoff at. While it may not be best in class, it is well above average.
With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.
When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania is one of the best Touring on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Touring, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Pennsylvania. It testing team was astonished by the results.
