Review written on 8/1964.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Donut should really make a Station Wagon that is better than the Washington." Someone at Donut must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Glaze and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the 7456 but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Washington?"

As always, our first stop with the Donut Glaze was the track. This Station Wagon may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 139 hp @ 4767RPMs 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 Glaze to a top speed of 98 mph and drag times of 22.112s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. While the 123 lb-ft of torque you get is not insane it is more than enough to tow 22 lbs which was a decent amount for this class. Donut really did well with the Glaze when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. Compared to its peers in the Station Wagon class the Donut Glaze selling point should not be driveability. The Glaze offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better.

While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Donut Glaze does provide the bare necessities required in a vehicle of this type. No more and no less. As well as it should. If you wanted to spend that extra bit you would of bought the better vehicle. Was Donut wise in this respect? Maybe, but we do think they should of offered at least a little more bang for the buck so to speak.

Amazingly spacey the Donut Glaze can bost 45 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.

Build quality of the Glaze 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 Glaze was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

The Donut Glaze's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Glaze's 15.5 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.

The extra effort from Donut to make the Glaze 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 Station Wagon and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Station Wagon. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Donut Glaze it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
