Review written on 5/1958.
The media has blown a lot of smoke over the last few months over Philadelphia Motors's new Town Car. It has stiff competition though from market leaders like the everyone else and even the bottom feeders like the 5520. Does the Zenith live up to the hype? Find out more below!
We brought the Philadelphia Motors Zenith out to the track expecting the worst. And boy were we surprised. While the Zenith isn't the fastest Town Car, it is certainly as good as most Town Car out on the market today. We thought the 152 hp @ 4197RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine was a good fit for this model. We were able to top out at 92 mph and on the strip we did a 21.200s 0 to 60 mph. With 153 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. While impressed the Zenith isn't perfect on the track. But it's still good enough for most people. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Zenith did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Town Car 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.
Philadelphia Motors's interior design stands out among its peers. The material selection is fantastic, each seat is crafted by fine artisans, and the ride quality outstanding. Zenith is also full of features other drivers can only dream about. You will not want to leave the inside of this vehicle.
The Philadelphia Motors Zenith is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 49 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...
Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Zenith 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 Zenith is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.
Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Zenith sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Zenith gets an abysmal 17.2 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.
While the Philadelphia Motors Zenith 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.
When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Zenith you'll see other Town Car on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
