Review written on 3/1940.

Everyone always says the E7598 is the greatest Roadster 2+2 made. But you always go against the grain. What about a Daphnaie? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Philadelphia Motors? This month we take a look at the new Ninja. Is this the Roadster 2+2 you've been looking for? Find out!


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 72 hp @ 2971RPMs 4778 cc I3 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 89 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 24.166s 0 to 60 mph. When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 102 lb-ft of torque was able to move 22 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. While Philadelphia Motors Ninja will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. The handling characteristics of the Philadelphia Motors Ninja is borderline acceptable for a Roadster 2+2. We wouldn't buy it for a tracking or narrow city streets. But for most people, who care little for driving, it is fine.


While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Philadelphia Motors Ninja does provide the bare necessities required in a vehicle of this type. No more and no less. As well as it should. If you wanted to spend that extra bit you would of bought the better vehicle. Was Philadelphia Motors wise in this respect? Maybe, but we do think they should of offered at least a little more bang for the buck so to speak.

Amazingly spacey the Philadelphia Motors Ninja can bost 27 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Ninja seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.


Reliability of the Philadelphia Motors Ninja is not good. It's really dependent on how well you take care of the vehicle and luck of the draw. Almost all Ninja 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.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Ninja is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Ninja awful fuel mileage of 17.3 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 Ninja is average in all respects.


The Philadelphia Motors Ninja fits the mold of your prototypical Roadster 2+2. It meets all the necessary requirements of being a good Roadster 2+2 and at times is quite enjoyable. It may not be the best. But it is still a good Roadster 2+2.
