Review written on 3/1940.
The new Washington looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Station Wagon segment. This new Station Wagon has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Washington to the top of your buying list above Washington? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the 3445 Rhadam? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Washington. 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 Station Wagon I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 96 hp @ 2946RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 85 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 25.359s 0 to 60 mph! If that wasn't enough with the 137 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! The Philadelphia Motors Washington handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Station Wagon. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

The Philadelphia Motors Washington's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Washington.

The Philadelphia Motors Washington is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 48 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 Washington. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.

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 Washington 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 Washington leaves a lot to be desired.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Washington is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Washington awful fuel mileage of 14.1 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

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 Washington is average in all respects.

Some may be able to point to other Station Wagon and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Station Wagon. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Washington it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
