We brought the Philadelphia Motors Independence out to the track expecting the worst. And boy were we surprised. While the Independence isn't the fastest Sedan, it is certainly as good as most Sedan out on the market today. We thought the 96 hp @ 5776RPMs 1539 cc Flat2 engine was a good fit for this model. We were able to top out at 88 mph and on the strip we did a 31.956s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 70 lb-ft of torque which can haul 22 lbs. While impressed the Independence isn't perfect on the track. But it's still good enough for most people. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Independence is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Sedan would not be able to keep up with the Independence on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.


Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Independence and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

The Philadelphia Motors Independence is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 43 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

Build quality of the Independence is about what you would expect from Philadelphia Motors. We only noticed a few minor flaws in paneling gaps. There was also one or two vibration sounds in the interior. None of these flaws would be a deal breaker
