Review written on 12/1904.
Philadelphia Motors is in a unique position with the Phillie. The Phaeton segment rules the Cruelle market. While the Johnson is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Phillie fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Philadelphia Motors's new Phaeton? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Phaeton segment?

The day started right when I was picked to drive the Philadelphia Motors Phillie on the track. The Phillie is a is pretty fast for a Phaeton. Its 6 hp @ 928RPMs 860 cc I2 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 32 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a Not Applicable. Some may have their doubts, but the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is a fantastic track Phaeton. The Philadelphia Motors Phillie handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Phaeton. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.

The Philadelphia Motors Phillie's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Phillie.

When it comes time to get into the Philadelphia Motors Phillie most people will find it to be a little tight. While the 11 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space does limit us, it is almost average for it's class. Overtime we got used to it. But we still think the folks at Philadelphia Motors should squeeze in just a little more space inside.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Phillie 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 Phillie 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.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Phillie out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Phillie's ghastly 15.0 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.

With that said, I would not trust the Philadelphia Motors Phillie with my kids. The risk adverse should avoid this vehicle due to its horrible safety features. This is probably why the dealership makes you sign a wavier before driving it.

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!
