Review written on 8/1920.
The new Arrow looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Shooting Brake segment. This new Shooting Brake has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Arrow to the top of your buying list above Arrow? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Gauntlet? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!

Normally we take the vehicles out to the track as our first test. And to be honest we tried, but the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is so slow that it took us nearly 3 hours just getting out of the parking lot. And that shows you how dreadful this Shooting Brake is. The 40 hp @ 1817RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is grossly underpowered. Interestingly enough if you waited all week you could power the Arrow up to a top speed of 24 mph and accelerate full throttle with a Not Applicable time. We found that with 94 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Arrow when it comes to handling. As a Shooting Brake it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Arrow is mundane.So in a nut shell the Arrow is as slow as a rock. The only way to make it move is to push it off a cliff.

The strongest selling point of the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Arrow is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Arrow.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 48 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Arrow 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.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow 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.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Arrow. With its sub-par 9.1 mpg the Arrow will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

While being safe is important, Philadelphia Motors did not believe it was a priority in the Arrow. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.

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