The media has blown a lot of smoke over the last few months over Durack's new Compact Car. It has stiff competition though from market leaders like the Lackawanna and even the bottom feeders like the T149. Does the Allegheny WK live up to the hype? Find out more below!
On my first track run in the Durack Allegheny WK suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Compact Car. The Allegheny WK's 65 hp @ 2160RPMs 1803 cc Wankel  engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 24.033s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 101 mph. The Allegheny WK is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 101 mph. With 127 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 22 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! In the real world the Durack Allegheny WK could not even handle a U-turn, let alone our beloved test track. Why the hell would engineers at Durack even put a steering wheel on this train? This has to be one of the worst handling Compact Car I have ever driven. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Compact Car I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!
Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Durack Allegheny WK. The Allegheny WK has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Durack did a great job.
Getting into the Durack Allegheny WK can be quite a bit of a pain. Even an amoeba would be claustrophobic in the confines of the Allegheny WK. With only 17 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space, there is absolutely no place to put anything. Want a to take a suit case? Strap it to the roof. Want to take a child to school? Strap him to the roof. Want a soda... you guessed it. Strap it to the roof! One has to imagine Durack owns a roof rack company somewhere.
While not exactly handmade, Durack did put a bit of extra work into the Allegheny WK and it shows. Panels actually fit and are made to last. The finish doesn't fade in the sun, and all the bolts have washers. It begs the question why buy a lower quality car every 5 years, and not buy the Durack Allegheny WK which should last a few generations?
The Durack Allegheny WK was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.
With 45.5 mpg, the Durack Allegheny WK could be summed up as great! This is one of the vehicles in the segment you want if you're looking to save money on fuel.
While being safe is important, Durack did not believe it was a priority in the Allegheny WK. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.
When it comes to Compact Car there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Durack Allegheny WK the best Compact Car I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
