Review written on 5/1954.

We've had access to the Donut Wilkes-Barre for a while now. This Full Sized Sedan surprised us more than the F8191 or the French. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Full Sized Sedan? Read ahead to find out!


On my first track run in the Donut Wilkes-Barre suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Full Sized Sedan. The Wilkes-Barre's 104 hp @ 3892RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 25.412s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 101 mph. The Wilkes-Barre is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 101 mph. The engine puts out 113 lb-ft of torque which can haul 22 lbs. There is not much to say about the Donut Wilkes-Barre when it comes to handling. As a Full Sized Sedan it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Wilkes-Barre is mundane. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Full Sized Sedan I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!


When we got to interior testing on the Donut Wilkes-Barre we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.

Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 37 cu-ft of space inside the Donut Wilkes-Barre. He was right! The Wilkes-Barre is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.

The team at Donut cut a lot of corners when it came to building the Wilkes-Barre. It is apparent in everything from the interior to the body panels to the paints to the molding. Its not designed to last. But its not exactly the worst car on the market. You can do better.


The Donut Wilkes-Barre was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

The Donut Wilkes-Barre gets 16.6 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

With some focus on safety, Donut Wilkes-Barre has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Donut does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.


All in all, the Donut Wilkes-Barre is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Full Sized Sedan tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Full Sized Sedan that are better than the Wilkes-Barre. But for some buyers, the Wilkes-Barre is still a good choice.
