Review written on 3/1940.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Philadelphia Motors should really make a Luxury Sedan that is better than the Senator." Someone at Philadelphia Motors must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Continental and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the Cephalus but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Senator?"
As always, our first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Continental was the track. This Luxury Sedan may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 96 hp @ 2946RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Continental to a top speed of 83 mph and drag times of 23.753s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. We found that with 137 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 293 lbs. Philadelphia Motors really did well with the Continental when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. When it comes to handling, the Luxury Sedan segment has very few models that are better than the Philadelphia Motors Continental. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.
Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Continental. The Continental 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 Continental is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 43 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...
The Philadelphia Motors Continental has just enough labor of love in it to make it better than most other vehicles. Even though it came off an assembly line you can tell that the employees at Philadelphia Motors love their job. This is reflected in the quality of material and workmanship used to finish the product.
If it wasn't for the price, we would of thought that the Philadelphia Motors Continental was a disposable car. It literally breaks after use. But no, it's not disposable, and that's what makes it all the worse.
Philadelphia Motors Continental's 14.1 mpg city and leaves plenty of room for improvement. We do truly believe that the engineers at Philadelphia Motors can squeeze a few more mileage out of this vehicle to get it up to at least average.
From the looks of things, the engineers at Philadelphia Motors took the bare minimum approach. The Philadelphia Motors Continental has just enough safety features and quality materials to keep you and your family safe in most instances. But don't expect much if it effected their bottom line. There is enough there to product their liabilities, thus protecting them from lawsuits. No more, no less. If you are focused on keeping your family safe, this is not the vehicle for you.
Some may be able to point to other Luxury Sedan and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Luxury Sedan. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Continental it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
