When it comes to Microcar it might be easy to miss Philadelphia Motors's Chipmunk. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Microcar. We'll let you know where it stands between the Chipmunk and the U2570. So continue reading to find out more about the Philadelphia Motors Chipmunk.

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Chipmunk. 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 Microcar I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 53 hp @ 3564RPMs 905 cc Radial5 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 96 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 22.213s 0 to 60 mph! When we hooked it up to our test trailer the 63 lb-ft of torque was able to move 22 lbs. Which was very good for a its class. The Philadelphia Motors Chipmunk handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Microcar. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

The strongest selling point of the Philadelphia Motors Chipmunk is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Chipmunk is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Chipmunk.

The Philadelphia Motors Chipmunk is not exactly roomy. You can fit normal people in it, maybe a bag or two. But not much else. You probably wouldn't want to be in it for long, and your certainly wouldn't want to use it to transport anything in bulk. The Chipmunk's 13 cu-ft of passenger and cargo space leave a lot to be desired. Many vehicles in its class are much more spacious. So be warned. This may not be the perfect fit for you.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Chipmunk 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.

Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Philadelphia Motors Chipmunk is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

The folks over at Philadelphia Motors did a good job when it came to fuel economy. The Chipmunk gets a 46.3 mpg city and which is nothing to scoff at. While it may not be best in class, it is well above average.

You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Chipmunk to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.

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