Review written on 8/1920.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the everyone else. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Coupe 2+2 like the Sunflower. So where does the Camellia stand in the Coupe 2+2 segment? After spending a few days with the Camellia. We have made our judgment.

Is the Philadelphia Motors Camellia fast? Uh, No. But is that important? Maybe. For a Coupe 2+2 the Camellia is well below average. There are many other vehicles in this class that can move better and faster on the track. And because of that we don't consider it to be very good. The 13 hp @ 1343RPMs 1167 cc I3 engine is underpowered for this vehicle. Which ultimately hurts its performance. The Camellia is able to reach a top speed of 30 mph and it does Not Applicable on the strip. The engine puts out 41 lb-ft of torque which can haul 833 lbs. And that leaves us with one conclusion. Philadelphia Motors Should have probably used a bigger, better engine for this vehicle. But as it is, it will do. When it comes to handling, the Philadelphia Motors Camellia is one of the worst Coupe 2+2 we have tested. We fear for our lives any time there is a slight bend in the road.

The Philadelphia Motors Camellia is the definition of basic transportation. The seats feel like they're chiseled out of concrete. The dash isn't much better. And features? What features?

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Camellia it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 31 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.

Philadelphia Motors really cut corners when making the Camellia. You can tell in our test model. Only a few days old and parts are already starting to wear. But you get what you pay for. And if you buy gaps in paneling, leaky doors, and crackling speakers, well you're going to get gaps, leaks, and crackling. And the Philadelphia Motors Camellia has all three in abundance.

If you're looking for a car to put on cinder blocks in your front yard, the Philadelphia Motors Camellia is the vehicle for you. It is that unreliable.

The folks over at Philadelphia Motors did a good job when it came to fuel economy. The Camellia gets a 14.1 mpg city and which is nothing to scoff at. While it may not be best in class, it is well above average.

The Philadelphia Motors Camellia is the kind of vehicle a mortician recommends and an insurance man says to never buy. In this respect we have to agree with the insurance man for once. We can't lose anymore subscribers! Avoid Camellia at all costs!

Ultimately the Philadelphia Motors Camellia is one of the worst vehicles I have ever driven. Philadelphia Motors should be ashamed of making such crap. Only a pure idiot would buy such junk. There are much better Coupe 2+2 on the market to choose from. Hell walking beats this rubbish. Even if it is a cross continental trip!
