Review written on 6/1947.
Everyone always says the G5723 is the greatest Phaeton made. But you always go against the grain. What about a everyone else? 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 F2884. Is this the Phaeton you've been looking for? Find out!

We brought the Donut F2884 out to the track expecting the worst. And boy were we surprised. While the F2884 isn't the fastest Phaeton, it is certainly as good as most Phaeton out on the market today. We thought the 31 hp @ 3344RPMs 688 cc V4 engine was a good fit for this model. We were able to top out at 69 mph and on the strip we did a 30.328s 0 to 60 mph. With its 39 lb-ft of torque you can tow around 828 lbs but don't expect to get there anytime soon. While impressed the F2884 isn't perfect on the track. But it's still good enough for most people. The Donut F2884 has subpar cornering abilities. There are more nimble Phaeton on the market to choose from if that's your thing. We're not saying the F2884 kill you if you push it too hard while turning. But we'd advise you not to risk it.

The Donut F2884 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?

The cramped Donut F2884 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 F2884's tiny 23 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space leaves very little room for even this review!

The Donut F2884 is so poorly made that there are petitions to prevent the sale or manufacturing of them on the bases of fraud. So be advised, the F2884 is horribly built.

The Donut F2884 is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.

At 22.4 mpg, the Donut F2884 isn't exactly an economic vehicle. It won't break your bank when fuel prices are low, but when fuel prices are normal or even high, it can be painful at the pump.

On the topic of safety, the Donut F2884 is highly recommended for suicidal drivers who are not afraid of spontaneous combustion.

Words can not describe how bad the Donut F2884. I flipped through just about the entire thesaurus. About the best I can do is this: The Donut F2884 is an absolutely horrendously disgusting Phaeton.
