Review written on 1/1951.
Many vehicles come and go. Most are duds like the Ninja but a few stand out like the G2075. So this month, we'll be looking at the Ninja to see where it stands out among the crowd. Is this new Philadelphia Motors a keeper? Or should it rust away with time?
On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Ninja suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Roadster 2+2. The Ninja's 155 hp @ 4082RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 15.022s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 109 mph. The Ninja is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 109 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 160 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 427 lbs which is amazing! 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. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Roadster 2+2 I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!
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...
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.
The Philadelphia Motors Ninja is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.
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 15.3 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!
While the Philadelphia Motors Ninja is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.
All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Ninja is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Roadster 2+2 tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Roadster 2+2 that are better than the Ninja. But for some buyers, the Ninja is still a good choice.
