Review written on 3/1940.
We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Phillie. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Phaeton out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the Elf, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Phillie is better than the Liberty Bell. You'll have to read to find out.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Phillie was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Phaeton is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 59 hp @ 3788RPMs 2240 cc Flat2 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 80 mph in an impressive 28.176s 0 to 60 mph. When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 66 lb-ft of torque was able to move 22 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. Compared to its peers in the Phaeton class the Philadelphia Motors Phillie selling point should not be driveability. The Phillie offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better.

Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Phillie's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Philadelphia Motors was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Phillie it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 30 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space ensures that you always have plenty of room to do whatever it is you need to do. And that makes us happy.

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Phillie. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.

If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Philadelphia Motors Phillie. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.

With 26.3 mpg, the Philadelphia Motors Phillie could be summed up as great! This is one of the vehicles in the segment you want if you're looking to save money on fuel.

While the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.

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