Review written on 6/1947.
Philadelphia Motors is in a unique position with the Corsican. The Fastback segment rules the H5730 market. While the Marianne is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Corsican fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Philadelphia Motors's new Fastback? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Fastback segment?

The first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Corsican was the track. Where this Fastback performed rather well. We found its 82 hp @ 3467RPMs 1772 cc V8 engine to give a decent response without being overly powerful. Although it's not class leading the Corsican is better than most of its competition on the track. We were able to get the Corsican up to a top speed of 88 mph and hit a 18.364s 0 to 60 mph time. While the 100 lb-ft of torque you get is not insane it is more than enough to tow 1904 lbs which was a decent amount for this class. When it comes right down to it, the Corsican is for good or worse, average, well maybe slightly above average for a Fastback. When it comes to handling, the Fastback segment has very few models that are better than the Philadelphia Motors Corsican. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.

While the Philadelphia Motors Corsican won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Corsican does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

In terms of passenger and cargo space the Philadelphia Motors Corsican's 22 cu-ft could be considered quite adequate for its class. The seats are roomy enough for almost every person, it can store what you would expect, and there is still enough room left over to have a bunch of knickknacks. It's hard to see where Philadelphia Motors could improve this car. It's good. Very good.

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Corsican. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.

The Philadelphia Motors Corsican is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Corsican. With its sub-par 27.2 mpg the Corsican will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Corsican to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.

The Philadelphia Motors Corsican fits the mold of your prototypical Fastback. It meets all the necessary requirements of being a good Fastback and at times is quite enjoyable. It may not be the best. But it is still a good Fastback.
