When it comes to Compact Car it might be easy to miss Philadelphia Motors's Lackawanna. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Compact Car. We'll let you know where it stands between the everyone else and the F5979. So continue reading to find out more about the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Compact Car is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 79 hp @ 4715RPMs 1803 cc Wankel  engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 102 mph in an impressive 23.934s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 71 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna is like that, but faster. Literally this Compact Car can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down.

The Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Lackawanna.

The cramped Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna will leave your passengers knees permanently attached to their chest after you fold them up and slide them into that space they call a seat. The Lackawanna's tiny 19 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space leaves very little room for even this review!

The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Lackawanna is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.

It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

When it came to fuel economy testing we tried to see how far we could go in the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna. Our goal was to run it out of fuel. We tried and we failed. Even when the Lackawanna fuel gauge was below E, it kept going! Befuddled at this we asked Philadelphia Motors engineers how this is possible. They showed us their Motor Bunny fuel system, which just keeps going and going and going and going for an impressive 40.7 mpg. In one word, amazing.

In some sense the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Lackawanna isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Compact Car you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Lackawanna but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
