Everyone always says the Republique is the greatest Sedan made. But you always go against the grain. What about a 6765? 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 Berliner. Is this the Sedan you've been looking for? Find out!

The first stop for the Donut Berliner was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Sedan is built for performance. Donut cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 104 hp @ 3892RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 101 mph in an impressive 24.145s 0 to 60 mph. When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 113 lb-ft of torque was able to move 22 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. When it comes to handling, the Sedan segment has very few models that are better than the Donut Berliner. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.

When we got to interior testing on the Donut Berliner we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.

Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 34 cu-ft of space inside the Donut Berliner. He was right! The Berliner is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.

The Berliner isn't exactly a well-made car. In fact, it's a poorly made car. It is unfortunate that Donut did not invest a little more in build quality. Hopefully, future productions will improve the finished product.

Engineers at Donut managed to make the perfect vehicle. It has absolutely not issues until hours after the warranty expires. We tested this phenomena 5 times on the Donut Berliner and every time they had a major breakdown within a week after the warranty expired. While great for Donut this is probably not a vehicle you should buy if you plan on keeping it. The dependability of the Donut Berliner leaves a lot to be desired.

Whether or not the Donut Berliner is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Berliner awful fuel mileage of 17.2 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

The extra effort from Donut to make the Berliner feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

Some may be able to point to other Sedan and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Sedan. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Donut Berliner it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
