The Shooting Brake segment is not for everyone. But the Arrow may be the vehicle for you. Philadelphia Motors sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Philadelphia Motors's headquarters to test out the Arrow. Luckily we've also tested the Invade and the Doris this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Shooting Brake community.
The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Arrow was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Shooting Brake is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 60 hp @ 2658RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 62 mph in an impressive 38.292s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 96 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. While testing the Philadelphia Motors Arrow's handling on the track, we found that this Shooting Brake drives like a brick. Many times we were confronted with a corner that the vehicle just couldn't handle. At speed this vehicle may be deadly.
The Philadelphia Motors Arrow's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Arrow.
The Philadelphia Motors Arrow is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 50 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...
The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Arrow is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.
The Philadelphia Motors Arrow 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.
Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Arrow awful fuel mileage of 9.6 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!
With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Arrow has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.
When it comes to Shooting Brake there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Arrow the best Shooting Brake I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
