We've had access to the Philadelphia Motors Eagle for a while now. This Sedan surprised us more than the Independence or the Ceramic. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Sedan? Read ahead to find out!


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Eagle. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Sedan I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 60 hp @ 2658RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 73 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 32.773s 0 to 60 mph! If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 96 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 22 lbs which is amazing! On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Eagle did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Sedan it should have better handling than it does. In most cases in the real world this shouldn't be any problem. But it is still sub-par at best. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Philadelphia Motors Eagle 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 Eagle's 34 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 Eagle is good.

The Philadelphia Motors Eagle has just enough labor of love in it to make it better than most other vehicles. Even though it came off an assembly line you can tell that the employees at Philadelphia Motors love their job. This is reflected in the quality of material and workmanship used to finish the product.


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

The Philadelphia Motors Eagle's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Eagle's 12.4 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 Eagle 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.


The Philadelphia Motors Eagle fits the mold of your prototypical Sedan. It meets all the necessary requirements of being a good Sedan and at times is quite enjoyable. It may not be the best. But it is still a good Sedan.
