Philadelphia Motors is in a unique position with the Phillie. The Phaeton segment rules the Liberty Bell market. While the Athletic is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Phillie fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Philadelphia Motors's new Phaeton? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Phaeton segment?

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Phillie suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Phaeton. The Phillie's 53 hp @ 3452RPMs 2240 cc Flat2 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 28.195s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 78 mph. The Phillie is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 78 mph. With 65 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 22 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Phillie when it comes to handling. As a Phaeton it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Phillie is mundane. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Phaeton I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

While the Philadelphia Motors Phillie won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Phillie does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 29 cu-ft of space inside the Philadelphia Motors Phillie. He was right! The Phillie is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.

The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Phillie is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.

The Philadelphia Motors Phillie is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

Philadelphia Motors Phillie's fuel economy can only be summed up as one word, Amazing. At 27.0 mpg it will save you heaps of money over the competition. This is the vehicle you need to pick if you're a heavy commuter looking to save a buck.

While the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Phillie. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Phaeton you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Phillie but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
