Review written on 3/1922.
We've had access to the Philadelphia Motors Ninja for a while now. This Roadster 2+2 surprised us more than the Fama or the Ninja. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Roadster 2+2? Read ahead to find out!
Is the Philadelphia Motors Ninja fast? Uh, No. But is that important? Maybe. For a Roadster 2+2 the Ninja 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 18 hp @ 2111RPMs 859 cc I3 engine is underpowered for this vehicle. Which ultimately hurts its performance. The Ninja is able to reach a top speed of 34 mph and it does Not Applicable on the strip. With this 36 lb-ft of torque can tow 725 lbs. Once again. Not great, but not bad. 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. The Philadelphia Motors Ninja sticks to the road like burnt eggs on a frying pan. The handling characteristics of the Ninja puts it in the top tier of Roadster 2+2.
The strongest selling point of the Philadelphia Motors Ninja is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Ninja is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Ninja.
Inside the Philadelphia Motors Ninja it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 32 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 Philadelphia Motors Ninja was made by below average workers, using below average materials, for a below average company. What do you expect the vehicle quality to be?
It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Ninja 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.
The folks over at Philadelphia Motors did a good job when it came to fuel economy. The Ninja gets a 15.1 mpg city and which is nothing to scoff at. While it may not be best in class, it is well above average.
You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Ninja 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.
When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Ninja you'll see other Roadster 2+2 on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
