The media has blown a lot of smoke over the last few months over Philadelphia Motors's new Full Sized Sedan. It has stiff competition though from market leaders like the Scranton and even the bottom feeders like the 1694. Does the Erie live up to the hype? Find out more below!

It has been a long time since I've driven a Full Sized Sedan that performed as well. I really hoped that the Philadelphia Motors Erie would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Erie did great! The 155 hp @ 4082RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Full Sized Sedan the Erie does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Erie up to 97 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 19.041s 0 to 60 mph. With 160 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. While Philadelphia Motors Erie will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. In the real world the Philadelphia Motors Erie could not even handle a U-turn, let alone our beloved test track. Why the hell would engineers at Philadelphia Motors even put a steering wheel on this train? This has to be one of the worst handling Full Sized Sedan I have ever driven.

The Philadelphia Motors Erie's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Erie.

The Philadelphia Motors Erie gives you a sense of home away from home. With 49 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Erie 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!

Build quality of the Erie is about what you would expect from Philadelphia Motors. We only noticed a few minor flaws in paneling gaps. There was also one or two vibration sounds in the interior. None of these flaws would be a deal breaker

The Philadelphia Motors Erie is a reliable car that we would trust our dear old grandmother with. These things are almost bulletproof.

The Philadelphia Motors Erie's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Erie's 15.3 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 Erie 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 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 Erie the best Full Sized Sedan I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
