Review written on 5/1958.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the 2798. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Roadster 2+2 like the W499. So where does the Ninja stand in the Roadster 2+2 segment? After spending a few days with the Ninja. We have made our judgment.

It has been a long time since I've driven a Roadster 2+2 that performed as well. I really hoped that the Philadelphia Motors Ninja would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Ninja did great! The 184 hp @ 4560RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Roadster 2+2 the Ninja does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Ninja up to 115 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 13.569s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 170 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 557 lbs! While Philadelphia Motors Ninja will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Ninja when it comes to handling. As a Roadster 2+2 it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Ninja is mundane.

While the Philadelphia Motors Ninja won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Ninja does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

The Philadelphia Motors Ninja is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 28 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 Ninja. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.

The Philadelphia Motors Ninja is a reliable car that we would trust our dear old grandmother with. These things are almost bulletproof.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Ninja sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Ninja gets an abysmal 15.2 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Ninja feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Ninja you'll see other Roadster 2+2 on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
