Review written on 1/1951.
Philadelphia Motors just released a new Coupe called the Magician. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The Mage. Or is even the lowly Malacca better than it? Read to find out more!

On first glance the Philadelphia Motors Magician seems to have everything you'd want in a daily driver on the track. It is not overly powerful, but it packs enough punch to get up and go. While you won't win any races, you won't hold up any traffic. The Coupe's 87 hp @ 4441RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Magician is able to top out at 88 mph and accelerates at 22.251s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 83 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 22 lbs which is average for this class. Ultimately the Philadelphia Motors Magician is your average Coupe on the track. The good thing about the Philadelphia Motors Magician is that it's actually handles better than your typical Coupe. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Magician is a good choice.

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Magician 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 Magician's 24 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 Magician is good.

Philadelphia Motors has really put some effort into the production of the Magician. And it shows in the construction quality of the machine. Panel gaps are non-noticeable. Nothing shakes or rattles when driving down the road. It's a well-built vehicle.

Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Philadelphia Motors Magician is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

At 20.5 mpg, the Philadelphia Motors Magician isn't exactly an economic vehicle. It won't break your bank when fuel prices are low, but when fuel prices are normal or even high, it can be painful at the pump.

While being safe is important, Philadelphia Motors did not believe it was a priority in the Magician. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.

The Philadelphia Motors Magician fits the mold of your prototypical Coupe. It meets all the necessary requirements of being a good Coupe and at times is quite enjoyable. It may not be the best. But it is still a good Coupe.
