When it comes to Station Wagon it might be easy to miss Philadelphia Motors's Valley Forge. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Station Wagon. We'll let you know where it stands between the Washington and the Valley Forge. So continue reading to find out more about the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge.
I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge. 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 Station Wagon I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 60 hp @ 2658RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 70 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 35.266s 0 to 60 mph! We found that with 96 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Station Wagon would not be able to keep up with the Valley Forge on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!
Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge. The Valley Forge has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Philadelphia Motors did a great job.
The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge gives you a sense of home away from home. With 42 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Valley Forge 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!
Build quality of the Valley Forge 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 Valley Forge in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.
The 11.9 mpg city and might not look great. And it isn't. But there are worst options out there. That is no excuse however. The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.
Safety is another important topic on the minds of many. The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge maintains the average amount of safety features for this type of vehicle. While not overly impressive, it should be enough to keep you alive in most cases. Don't expect miracles however.
In the end the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge provide decent value for the money. It's not the best car in the Station Wagon segment, but it won't disappoint. You could do a lot worse. If this model appeals to you I see no reason to dissuade you from it.
