Review written on 3/1940.
Philadelphia Motors just released a new Sedan called the Eagle. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The Beaufort. Or is even the lowly Orange better than it? Read to find out more!
The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Eagle was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Sedan is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 79 hp @ 3258RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 83 mph in an impressive 27.460s 0 to 60 mph. With 103 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 22 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Eagle is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Sedan would not be able to keep up with the Eagle on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.
Interior build, materials, and features are average for the segment. The Philadelphia Motors Eagle's cabin isn't going to amaze. But compared to most other vehicles of this type, it's not going to let you down. It has most of the standard features, and comfort, while lacking in some areas, is decent.
The Philadelphia Motors Eagle gives you a sense of home away from home. With 34 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Eagle 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!
Philadelphia Motors has really put some effort into the production of the Eagle. And it shows in the construction quality of the machine. Panel gaps are non-noticeable. Nothing shakes or rattles when driving down the road. It's a well-built vehicle.
The Philadelphia Motors Eagle is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.
The Philadelphia Motors Eagle gets 13.7 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.
With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Eagle has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.
Some may be able to point to other Sedan and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Sedan. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Eagle it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
