Review written on 1/1951.
Some say we're never kind enough to Donut. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the Twist. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Coupe 2+2 like the Redwood. So where does the Lavendar stand in the Coupe 2+2 segment? After spending a few days with the Lavendar. We have made our judgment.

The day started right when I was picked to drive the Donut Lavendar on the track. The Lavendar is a is pretty fast for a Coupe 2+2. Its 87 hp @ 4441RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 95 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 23.352s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Donut Lavendar is a fantastic track Coupe 2+2. In the real world the Donut Lavendar could not even handle a U-turn, let alone our beloved test track. Why the hell would engineers at Donut even put a steering wheel on this train? This has to be one of the worst handling Coupe 2+2 I have ever driven.

The Donut Lavendar's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Lavendar.

The Donut Lavendar's 24 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 Lavendar is good.

Build quality of the Lavendar is about what you would expect from Donut. We only noticed a few minor flaws in paneling gaps. There was also one or two vibration sounds in the interior. None of these flaws would be a deal breaker

I imagine it'll be rare to find a Donut Lavendar in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

At 22.0 mpg, the Donut Lavendar isn't exactly an economic vehicle. It won't break your bank when fuel prices are low, but when fuel prices are normal or even high, it can be painful at the pump.

The extra effort from Donut to make the Lavendar 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.

Some may be able to point to other Coupe 2+2 and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Coupe 2+2. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Donut Lavendar it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
