The media has blown a lot of smoke over the last few months over Philadelphia Motors's new Full Sized Sedan. It has stiff competition though from market leaders like the Scranton and even the bottom feeders like the Marlow. Does the Erie live up to the hype? Find out more below!


On first glance the Philadelphia Motors Erie seems to have everything you'd want in a daily driver on the track. It is not overly powerful, but it packs enough punch to get up and go. While you won't win any races, you won't hold up any traffic. The Full Sized Sedan's 37 hp @ 1532RPMs 3147 cc I4 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Erie is able to top out at 54 mph and accelerates at Not Applicable. When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 102 lb-ft of torque was able to move 1470 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. Ultimately the Philadelphia Motors Erie is your average Full Sized Sedan on the track. The Philadelphia Motors Erie sticks to the road like burnt eggs on a frying pan. The handling characteristics of the Erie puts it in the top tier of Full Sized Sedan.


Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Erie and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

When it comes to cargo, its 37 cu-ft of space is better than most vehicles of its type, but far from the best. We believe there is enough room in the Philadelphia Motors Erie to fill all your needs without over doing it.

Build quality of the Erie is about what you would expect from Philadelphia Motors. We only noticed a few minor flaws in paneling gaps. There was also one or two vibration sounds in the interior. None of these flaws would be a deal breaker


I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Erie in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

At the pump station you get the feeling that someone over at Philadelphia Motors really wanted to squeeze out every last drop out of this vehicle. And that person should get a raise. The Philadelphia Motors Erie gets an impressive 19.5 mpg! Which means it theoretically pays for it self compared to the competition!

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Erie has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.


When it comes to Full Sized Sedan there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Erie the best Full Sized Sedan I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
