Competition in the Compact Car segment has just gotten a little more heated. Donut has launched the Allegheny R7X. Is this Compact Car enough to unseat the Lackawanna or will it be worse than the F5979. Don't worry! We have the answers.
The first stop for the Donut Allegheny R7X was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Compact Car is built for performance. Donut cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 61 hp @ 3242RPMs 1268 cc Radial7 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 98 mph in an impressive 28.223s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 80 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. The good thing about the Donut Allegheny R7X is that it's actually handles better than your typical Compact Car. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Allegheny R7X is a good choice.
Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Donut Allegheny R7X and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.
17 cu-ft is all the space you get in the Donut Allegheny R7X. So you should forget about how practical this vehicle is. You're not going to run to the grocery store in it.
It may not be much in this day and age, but the Donut Allegheny R7X 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 Allegheny R7X.
Reliability of the Donut Allegheny R7X is not good. It's really dependent on how well you take care of the vehicle and luck of the draw. Almost all Allegheny R7X have some sort of issue within their lifetime. But it's never exactly enough of a pain to make you regret your purchasing decision. If avoiding the mechanic shop is your priority, it may be best to look elsewhere.
Are gas prices too high now? What will they be like 10 years from now? What about 50 years from now? Does it matter? If you drive a Donut Allegheny R7X it doesn't. The Allegheny R7X only uses 45.3 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!
With some focus on safety, Donut Allegheny R7X 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.
When it comes to Compact Car there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Donut Allegheny R7X the best Compact Car I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
