Review written on 3/1940.
Philadelphia Motors is in a unique position with the Amalfi. The Roadster segment rules the V2478 market. While the Sturculinus is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Amalfi fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Philadelphia Motors's new Roadster? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Roadster segment?
As always, our first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi was the track. This Roadster may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 72 hp @ 2971RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Amalfi to a top speed of 91 mph and drag times of 22.239s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. While the 102 lb-ft of torque you get is not insane it is more than enough to tow 44 lbs which was a decent amount for this class. Philadelphia Motors really did well with the Amalfi when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. While testing the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi's handling on the track, we found that this Roadster drives like a brick. Many times we were confronted with a corner that the vehicle just couldn't handle. At speed this vehicle may be deadly.
The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is the definition of basic transportation. The seats feel like they're chiseled out of concrete. The dash isn't much better. And features? What features?
Amazingly spacey the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi can bost 25 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.
The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Amalfi is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.
If you're looking for a car to put on cinder blocks in your front yard, the Philadelphia Motors Amalfi is the vehicle for you. It is that unreliable.
The Philadelphia Motors Amalfi's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Amalfi's 17.3 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.
Since we're in the interior it's a great time to talk about the a glaring flaw in Philadelphia Motors Amalfi's safety. Or I mean, Lack of safety. As the Amalfi is nothing more than a death trap. Please make sure your life insurance policy is filled before buying this vehicle.
Overall the Amalfi is a borderline acceptable vehicle. Philadelphia Motors did the bare minimum amount needed to make this Roadster worthy of consideration. Sure, it falls flat in many areas. But it does do some things well. We would still consider this car below average and would only recommend it to consumers who are interested in it. If you are, check out your local Philadelphia Motors authorized dealership.
