Review written on 3/1922.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Philadelphia Motors should really make a Luxury Sedan that is better than the Gray." Someone at Philadelphia Motors must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Continental and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the T5637 but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Gray?"
As always, our first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Continental was the track. This Luxury Sedan may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 72 hp @ 2433RPMs 4329 cc Flat4 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Continental to a top speed of 59 mph and drag times of Not Applicable are a breeze. We found that with 126 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 2142 lbs. Philadelphia Motors really did well with the Continental when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. The good thing about the Philadelphia Motors Continental is that it's actually handles better than your typical Luxury Sedan. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Continental is a good choice.
While the Philadelphia Motors Continental won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Continental 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 Continental gives you a sense of home away from home. With 45 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Continental feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!
The Philadelphia Motors Continental has just enough labor of love in it to make it better than most other vehicles. Even though it came off an assembly line you can tell that the employees at Philadelphia Motors love their job. This is reflected in the quality of material and workmanship used to finish the product.
Engineers at Philadelphia Motors managed to make the perfect vehicle. It has absolutely not issues until hours after the warranty expires. We tested this phenomena 5 times on the Philadelphia Motors Continental and every time they had a major breakdown within a week after the warranty expired. While great for Philadelphia Motors this is probably not a vehicle you should buy if you plan on keeping it. The dependability of the Philadelphia Motors Continental leaves a lot to be desired.
The Philadelphia Motors Continental's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Continental's 7.9 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.
While being safe is important, Philadelphia Motors did not believe it was a priority in the Continental. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.
When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Continental is one of the best Luxury Sedan on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Luxury Sedan, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Continental. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
