Review written on 5/1958.
Everyone always says the Republique is the greatest Sedan made. But you always go against the grain. What about a Edinburgh? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Donut? This month we take a look at the new Berliner. Is this the Sedan you've been looking for? Find out!

As always, our first stop with the Donut Berliner was the track. This Sedan may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 122 hp @ 4348RPMs 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 Berliner to a top speed of 106 mph and drag times of 21.655s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. With 118 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 22 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! Donut really did well with the Berliner when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. There is not much to say about the Donut Berliner 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 is mundane.

When we got to interior testing on the Donut Berliner we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.

The Donut Berliner gives you a sense of home away from home. With 34 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Berliner feels like a second living room. Which was what Donut was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Donut thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

The Berliner isn't exactly a well-made car. In fact, it's a poorly made car. It is unfortunate that Donut did not invest a little more in build quality. Hopefully, future productions will improve the finished product.

The Donut Berliner 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 Berliner gets 17.1 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

The extra effort from Donut to make the Berliner 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.

In the end the Donut Berliner provide decent value for the money. It's not the best car in the Sedan segment, but it won't disappoint. You could do a lot worse. If this model appeals to you I see no reason to dissuade you from it.
