Review written on 6/1948.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the 6748. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Microcar like the Gray Squirrel. So where does the Mouse stand in the Microcar segment? After spending a few days with the Mouse. We have made our judgment.

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Mouse. 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 Microcar I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 46 hp @ 3776RPMs 1710 cc V2 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 83 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 25.214s 0 to 60 mph! When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 52 lb-ft of torque was able to move 22 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Mouse when it comes to handling. As a Microcar it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Mouse is mundane. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

The Philadelphia Motors Mouse 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?

Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 17 cu-ft of space inside the Philadelphia Motors Mouse. He was right! The Mouse is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.

While not exactly handmade, Philadelphia Motors did put a bit of extra work into the Mouse and it shows. Panels actually fit and are made to last. The finish doesn't fade in the sun, and all the bolts have washers. It begs the question why buy a lower quality car every 5 years, and not buy the Philadelphia Motors Mouse which should last a few generations?

If your ideal date night is being broke down on the side of the road, then the Philadelphia Motors Mouse will fulfil your wildest dreams.

Philadelphia Motors Mouse's 25.2 mpg city and leaves plenty of room for improvement. We do truly believe that the engineers at Philadelphia Motors can squeeze a few more mileage out of this vehicle to get it up to at least average.

While being safe is important, Philadelphia Motors did not believe it was a priority in the Mouse. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.

Words can not describe how bad the Philadelphia Motors Mouse. I flipped through just about the entire thesaurus. About the best I can do is this: The Philadelphia Motors Mouse is an absolutely horrendously disgusting Microcar.
