Review written on 1/1951.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the 8490. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Compact SUV like the everyone else. So where does the Giza stand in the Compact SUV segment? After spending a few days with the Giza. We have made our judgment.

It has been a long time since I've driven a Compact SUV that performed as well. I really hoped that the Philadelphia Motors Giza would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Giza did great! The 90 hp @ 1932RPMs 4362 cc I4 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Compact SUV the Giza does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Giza up to 80 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 17.502s 0 to 60 mph. We found that with 196 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 6508 lbs. While Philadelphia Motors Giza will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. When it comes to handling, the Compact SUV segment has very few models that are better than the Philadelphia Motors Giza. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.

When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Giza isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.

The Philadelphia Motors Giza is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 38 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Giza. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.

Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Philadelphia Motors Giza is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Giza. With its sub-par 18.2 mpg the Giza will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

In some sense the Philadelphia Motors Giza reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Giza isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Giza. 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 Compact SUV you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Giza but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
