The press around the Philadelphia Motors Arrow may look more appealing than the everyone else. But is it really a better Shooting Brake? As long as it's not as bad as the Arrow, Philadelphia Motors should be happy with their results. We luckily have a test model to figure out where this vehicle stands in the market. And if it lives up to what the advertisements are saying about it.

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Arrow. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Shooting Brake I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 155 hp @ 4082RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 88 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 20.961s 0 to 60 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 22 lbs which is amazing! 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. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Arrow 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.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow gives you a sense of home away from home. With 59 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Arrow feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

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 was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Arrow's 13.8 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.

The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Arrow feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is one of the best Shooting Brake on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Shooting Brake, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Arrow. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
