When it comes to Phaeton it might be easy to miss Philadelphia Motors's Phillie. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Phaeton. We'll let you know where it stands between the Liberty Bell and the Elf. So continue reading to find out more about the Philadelphia Motors Phillie.
On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Phillie suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Phaeton. The Phillie's 53 hp @ 3452RPMs 2240 cc Flat2 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 28.285s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 78 mph. The Phillie is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 78 mph. When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 65 lb-ft of torque was able to move 22 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. While testing the Philadelphia Motors Phillie's handling on the track, we found that this Phaeton drives like a brick. Many times we were confronted with a corner that the vehicle just couldn't handle. At speed this vehicle may be deadly. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Phaeton I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!
The Philadelphia Motors Phillie is the definition of basic transportation. The seats feel like they're chiseled out of concrete. The dash isn't much better. And features? What features?
When it comes to cargo, its 29 cu-ft of space is better than most vehicles of its type, but far from the best. We believe there is enough room in the Philadelphia Motors Phillie to fill all your needs without over doing it.
Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Phillie 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 Phillie was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.
Philadelphia Motors Phillie's fuel economy can only be summed up as one word, Amazing. At 26.7 mpg it will save you heaps of money over the competition. This is the vehicle you need to pick if you're a heavy commuter looking to save a buck.
If safety was your priority, then this isn't the best on the market. That being said it's better than a lot of vehicles as well. The folks at Philadelphia Motors didn't make safety their focus, but there are enough features here to keep most people's minds at ease. And that's pretty much the jest of the thing. The Philadelphia Motors Phillie is average in all respects.
All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Phaeton tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Phaeton that are better than the Phillie. But for some buyers, the Phillie is still a good choice.
