Review written on 6/1947.
Philadelphia Motors just released a new Subcompact called the Chimaera. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The 7518. Or is even the lowly 5355 better than it? Read to find out more!

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Chimaera suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Subcompact. The Chimaera's 46 hp @ 3776RPMs 1710 cc V2 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 32.202s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 80 mph. The Chimaera is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 80 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 52 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Chimaera when it comes to handling. As a Subcompact it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Chimaera is mundane. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Subcompact I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

The Philadelphia Motors Chimaera reminds me of jail. The longer you're inside of it the less you want to be there. The interior is drab and non-existent. Devoid of form or functionality. There is nothing there. Nothing to write about. Just horrible, cold, nothingness. And that is how you can best describe the Chimaera's insides.

When it comes to cargo, its 21 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 Chimaera to fill all your needs without over doing it.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Chimaera 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.

If you're looking for a car to put on cinder blocks in your front yard, the Philadelphia Motors Chimaera is the vehicle for you. It is that unreliable.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Chimaera is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Chimaera awful fuel mileage of 18.9 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Chimaera feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

The Philadelphia Motors Chimaera is one of those cars you would never buy new. In fact, it's the type of Subcompact you try to avoid used. Only the down and out or the young will ever drive one of these. Preferably used.
