Review written on 8/1920.

Philadelphia Motors just released a new Full Sized Sedan called the Altoona. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The Tiiger. Or is even the lowly Altoona better than it? Read to find out more!


On first glance the Philadelphia Motors Altoona seems to have everything you'd want in a daily driver on the track. It is not overly powerful, but it packs enough punch to get up and go. While you won't win any races, you won't hold up any traffic. The Full Sized Sedan's 40 hp @ 1817RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Altoona is able to top out at 40 mph and accelerates at Not Applicable. With 94 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. Ultimately the Philadelphia Motors Altoona is your average Full Sized Sedan on the track. When it comes to handling, the Full Sized Sedan segment has very few models that are better than the Philadelphia Motors Altoona. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.


While the Philadelphia Motors Altoona won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Altoona does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

The Philadelphia Motors Altoona is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 46 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

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


I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Altoona in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Altoona out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Altoona's ghastly 9.4 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 some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Altoona has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.


I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Altoona. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Full Sized Sedan you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Altoona but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
