Review written on 6/1947.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Donut should really make a Station Wagon that is better than the Washington." Someone at Donut must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Glaze and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the 5922 but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Washington?"
The day started right when I was picked to drive the Donut Glaze on the track. The Glaze is a is pretty fast for a Station Wagon. Its 59 hp @ 3788RPMs 2240 cc Flat2 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 76 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 37.159s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Donut Glaze is a fantastic track Station Wagon. There is not much to say about the Donut Glaze when it comes to handling. As a Station Wagon it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Glaze is mundane.
The Donut Glaze reminds me of jail. The longer you're inside of it the less you want to be there. The interior is drab and non-existent. Devoid of form or functionality. There is nothing there. Nothing to write about. Just horrible, cold, nothingness. And that is how you can best describe the Glaze's insides.
Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 35 cu-ft of space inside the Donut Glaze. He was right! The Glaze is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.
The team at Donut cut a lot of corners when it came to building the Glaze. It is apparent in everything from the interior to the body panels to the paints to the molding. Its not designed to last. But its not exactly the worst car on the market. You can do better.
When it comes to dependability, if you squeeze the Donut Glaze hard enough, you'll get lemonade.
With 21.6 mpg, the Donut Glaze 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.
With some focus on safety, Donut Glaze 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.
All in all, the Donut Glaze is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Station Wagon tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Station Wagon that are better than the Glaze. But for some buyers, the Glaze is still a good choice.
