The press around the Philadelphia Motors Arrow may look more appealing than the everyone else. But is it really a better Shooting Brake? As long as it's not as bad as the Chiron, Philadelphia Motors should be happy with their results. We luckily have a test model to figure out where this vehicle stands in the market. And if it lives up to what the advertisements are saying about it.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Arrow was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Shooting Brake is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 72 hp @ 2971RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 66 mph in an impressive 34.646s 0 to 60 mph. We found that with 102 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. The handling characteristics of the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is borderline acceptable for a Shooting Brake. We wouldn't buy it for a tracking or narrow city streets. But for most people, who care little for driving, it is fine.

Philadelphia Motors's interior design stands out among its peers. The material selection is fantastic, each seat is crafted by fine artisans, and the ride quality outstanding. Arrow is also full of features other drivers can only dream about. You will not want to leave the inside of this vehicle.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Arrow it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 56 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space ensures that you always have plenty of room to do whatever it is you need to do. And that makes us happy.

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Arrow seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Arrow should last a very long time.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Arrow's 9.8 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 Philadelphia Motors to make the Arrow 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.

When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is one of the best Shooting Brake on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Shooting Brake, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Arrow. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
