Review written on 3/1940.
The new Pennsylvania 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 to the top of your buying list above Pennsylvania Turbo? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Nehebkhau L2462? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!
It has been a long time since I've driven a Touring that performed as well. I really hoped that the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Pennsylvania did great! The 72 hp @ 2971RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Touring the Pennsylvania does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Pennsylvania up to 86 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 27.989s 0 to 60 mph. With 102 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 22 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! While Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania has subpar cornering abilities. There are more nimble Touring on the market to choose from if that's your thing. We're not saying the Pennsylvania kill you if you push it too hard while turning. But we'd advise you not to risk it.
While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania 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 Philadelphia Motors 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 Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 29 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...
Philadelphia Motors has really put some effort into the production of the Pennsylvania. 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.
The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania 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.
Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Pennsylvania awful fuel mileage of 15.1 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!
When it comes to safety features Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania 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 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.
