Review written on 5/1954.
We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Touring out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the Pennsylvania Sport, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Pennsylvania XT is better than the C6854. You'll have to read to find out.
On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Touring. The Pennsylvania XT's 89 hp @ 4113RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 21.488s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 103 mph. The Pennsylvania XT is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 103 mph. With this 91 lb-ft of torque can tow 22 lbs. Once again. Not great, but not bad. The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Touring. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Touring I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!
Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT. The Pennsylvania XT 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.
The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT gives you a sense of home away from home. With 23 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Pennsylvania XT feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!
Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.
It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.
When it came to fuel economy testing we tried to see how far we could go in the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT. Our goal was to run it out of fuel. We tried and we failed. Even when the Pennsylvania XT fuel gauge was below E, it kept going! Befuddled at this we asked Philadelphia Motors engineers how this is possible. They showed us their Motor Bunny fuel system, which just keeps going and going and going and going for an impressive 36.4 mpg. In one word, amazing.
You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Pennsylvania XT to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.
When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania XT you'll see other Touring on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
