It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important. Donut believes their Maryland may be the best Touring to enter the market. How does it compare other Touring such as the Pennsylvania XT and Pennsylvania Sport? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!

On my first track run in the Donut Maryland suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Touring. The Maryland's 87 hp @ 4441RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 24.814s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 99 mph. The Maryland is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 99 mph. While the 83 lb-ft of torque you get is not insane it is more than enough to tow 22 lbs which was a decent amount for this class. On the track testing the Donut Maryland did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Touring it should have better handling than it does. In most cases in the real world this shouldn't be any problem. But it is still sub-par at best. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Touring I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

While the Donut Maryland won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Maryland 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.

Amazingly spacey the Donut Maryland can bost 26 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.

The workmanship put into the Donut Maryland is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Maryland is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Donut has perfected the perfect.

The Donut Maryland did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Donut Maryland is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Donut Maryland should last a very long time.

While the Donut Maryland will not win any awards for its fuel consummation. Its 22.0 mpg is better than most vehicles in its class. This means more money in your wallet and a happier long term experience. Donut did a good job in this respect.

With some focus on safety, Donut Maryland has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Donut does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

When it comes down to it, the Donut Maryland is one of the best Touring on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Touring, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Maryland. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
