Donut is in a unique position with the Berliner LE. The Sedan segment rules the Republique market. While the 772 is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Berliner LE fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Donut's new Sedan? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Sedan segment?

On my first track run in the Donut Berliner LE suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Sedan. The Berliner LE's 122 hp @ 4348RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 23.081s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 106 mph. The Berliner LE is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 106 mph. The engine puts out 118 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 22 lbs which is average for this class. There is not much to say about the Donut Berliner LE when it comes to handling. As a Sedan it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Berliner LE is mundane. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Sedan I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

The Donut Berliner LE 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?

The Donut Berliner LE is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 34 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

Build quality of the Berliner LE 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

The Donut Berliner LE is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.

The Donut Berliner LE's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Berliner LE's 17.1 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.

Safety is another important topic on the minds of many. The Donut Berliner LE maintains the average amount of safety features for this type of vehicle. While not overly impressive, it should be enough to keep you alive in most cases. Don't expect miracles however.

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