Review written on 6/1947.
The new Pennsylvania XT looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Touring segment. This new Touring has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Pennsylvania XT to the top of your buying list above Blanket? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Brandy? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Touring. The Pennsylvania XT's 118 hp @ 3417RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 17.342s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 103 mph. The Pennsylvania XT is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 103 mph. We found that with 146 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 1188 lbs. There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT when it comes to handling. As a Touring it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Pennsylvania XT is mundane. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Touring I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

While the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Pennsylvania XT does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

26 cu-ft puts the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT roughly in line with other vehicles in its class. We would consider this to be enough space for everyday use of a vehicle of this type. We certainly wouldn't use it if you're looking to haul a bunch of junk around.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT 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.

The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT is not a particularly reliable car. In fact, it is quite downright bad. We suffered a catastrophic brake failure in just a couple of days testing a new car. While this might be a fluke, we wouldn't bet on it from the complaints we've heard.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Pennsylvania XT's ghastly 15.5 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.

When it comes to safety features Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT maintains the bare-bones amount required to keep you safe. While you probably won't survive a major accident. The vehicle shouldn't explode hitting a pothole on poor roads.

In the end the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT provide decent value for the money. It's not the best car in the Touring segment, but it won't disappoint. You could do a lot worse. If this model appeals to you I see no reason to dissuade you from it.
