Review written on 6/1929.
Philadelphia Motors is in a unique position with the Continental. The Luxury Sedan segment rules the Senator market. While the Nymph is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Continental fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Philadelphia Motors's new Luxury Sedan? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Luxury Sedan segment?

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Continental. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Luxury Sedan I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 82 hp @ 2738RPMs 4121 cc Flat4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 80 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 26.124s 0 to 60 mph! If that wasn't enough with the 126 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 138 lbs! Compared to its peers in the Luxury Sedan class the Philadelphia Motors Continental selling point should not be driveability. The Continental offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Continental. The Continental 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. Philadelphia Motors did a great job.

In terms of passenger and cargo space the Philadelphia Motors Continental's 42 cu-ft could be considered quite adequate for its class. The seats are roomy enough for almost every person, it can store what you would expect, and there is still enough room left over to have a bunch of knickknacks. It's hard to see where Philadelphia Motors could improve this car. It's good. Very good.

Build quality of the Continental is about what you would expect from Philadelphia Motors. We only noticed a few minor flaws in paneling gaps. There was also one or two vibration sounds in the interior. None of these flaws would be a deal breaker

Engineers at Philadelphia Motors 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 Philadelphia Motors Continental and every time they had a major breakdown within a week after the warranty expired. While great for Philadelphia Motors this is probably not a vehicle you should buy if you plan on keeping it. The dependability of the Philadelphia Motors Continental leaves a lot to be desired.

Philadelphia Motors Continental's 13.0 mpg city and leaves plenty of room for improvement. We do truly believe that the engineers at Philadelphia Motors can squeeze a few more mileage out of this vehicle to get it up to at least average.

If safety was your priority, then this isn't the best on the market. That being said it's better than a lot of vehicles as well. The folks at Philadelphia Motors didn't make safety their focus, but there are enough features here to keep most people's minds at ease. And that's pretty much the jest of the thing. The Philadelphia Motors Continental is average in all respects.

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