Review written on 5/1958.
It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important. Donut believes their Lavendar may be the best Coupe 2+2 to enter the market. How does it compare other Coupe 2+2 such as the Redwood and X2413? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!

As always, our first stop with the Donut Lavendar was the track. This Coupe 2+2 may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 103 hp @ 4962RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Lavendar to a top speed of 99 mph and drag times of 20.940s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. The engine puts out 88 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 22 lbs which is average for this class. Donut really did well with the Lavendar when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. Compared to its peers in the Coupe 2+2 class the Donut Lavendar selling point should not be driveability. The Lavendar 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.

While the Donut Lavendar won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Lavendar 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 24 cu-ft of space inside the Donut Lavendar. He was right! The Lavendar is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.

It may not be much in this day and age, but the Donut Lavendar is above its class average when we looked at the physical quality of the machine. While other manufacturers cut corners, Donut looks to keep their image and public perception high. They do a good job at that with the Lavendar.

The Donut Lavendar did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Donut Lavendar is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Donut Lavendar should last a very long time.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Donut Lavendar. With its sub-par 24.0 mpg the Lavendar will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

The extra effort from Donut to make the Lavendar 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 Coupe 2+2 and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Coupe 2+2. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Donut Lavendar it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
