Everyone always says the Washington is the greatest Station Wagon made. But you always go against the grain. What about a D6302? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Donut? This month we take a look at the new Glaze. Is this the Station Wagon you've been looking for? Find out!

On my first track run in the Donut Glaze suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Station Wagon. The Glaze's 104 hp @ 3892RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 26.766s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 91 mph. The Glaze is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 91 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 113 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! When it comes to handling, the Donut Glaze is one of the worst Station Wagon we have tested. We fear for our lives any time there is a slight bend in the road. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Station Wagon I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Donut Glaze does provide the bare necessities required in a vehicle of this type. No more and no less. As well as it should. If you wanted to spend that extra bit you would of bought the better vehicle. Was Donut wise in this respect? Maybe, but we do think they should of offered at least a little more bang for the buck so to speak.

The Donut Glaze's 45 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 Glaze is good.

The Glaze isn't exactly a well-made car. In fact, it's a poorly made car. It is unfortunate that Donut did not invest a little more in build quality. Hopefully, future productions will improve the finished product.

Do expect major repairs over the life time of owning a Donut Glaze. This is to be expected as it's not designed to be a life long vehicle.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Donut Glaze sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Glaze gets an abysmal 13.7 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

You could really tell the engineers at Donut designed the Glaze to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.

The Donut Glaze fits the mold of your prototypical Station Wagon. It meets all the necessary requirements of being a good Station Wagon and at times is quite enjoyable. It may not be the best. But it is still a good Station Wagon.
