Review written on 6/1929.
It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important.
Philadelphia Motors believes their Ninja may be the best Roadster 2+2 to enter the market. How does it compare other Roadster 2+2 such as the J2557 and Tribune? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!
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 60 hp @ 2658RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 26.182s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 86 mph. The Ninja is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 86 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 96 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! In the real world the Philadelphia Motors Ninja could not even handle a U-turn, let alone our beloved test track. Why the hell would engineers at Philadelphia Motors even put a steering wheel on this train? This has to be one of the worst handling Roadster 2+2 I have ever driven. 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!!!
When we got to interior testing on the Philadelphia Motors Ninja we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.
When it comes time to get into the Philadelphia Motors Ninja most people will find it to be a little tight. While the 24 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space does limit us, it is almost average for it's class. Overtime we got used to it. But we still think the folks at Philadelphia Motors should squeeze in just a little more space inside.
Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Ninja produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.
Engineers at Philadelphia Motors managed to make the perfect vehicle. It has absolutely not issues until hours after the warranty expires. We tested this phenomena 5 times on the Philadelphia Motors Ninja and every time they had a major breakdown within a week after the warranty expired. While great for Philadelphia Motors this is probably not a vehicle you should buy if you plan on keeping it. The dependability of the Philadelphia Motors Ninja leaves a lot to be desired.
We wouldn't call the Philadelphia Motors Ninja a truly 'green' vehicle, but it does get a very good 17.4 mpg city and which will leave your wallet full of greens, and that's good enough for us.
Since we're in the interior it's a great time to talk about the a glaring flaw in Philadelphia Motors Ninja's safety. Or I mean, Lack of safety. As the Ninja is nothing more than a death trap. Please make sure your life insurance policy is filled before buying this vehicle.
When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Ninja is one of the best Roadster 2+2 on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Roadster 2+2, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Ninja. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
