Review written on 5/1958.
Everyone always says the everyone else is the greatest Van made. But you always go against the grain. What about a R4925? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Philadelphia Motors? This month we take a look at the new Adirondack Diesel. Is this the Van you've been looking for? Find out!

The first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel was the track. Where this Van performed rather well. We found its 102 hp @ 1899RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine to give a decent response without being overly powerful. Although it's not class leading the Adirondack Diesel is better than most of its competition on the track. We were able to get the Adirondack Diesel up to a top speed of 72 mph and hit a 22.060s 0 to 60 mph time. We found that with 227 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 5723 lbs. When it comes right down to it, the Adirondack Diesel is for good or worse, average, well maybe slightly above average for a Van. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Van would not be able to keep up with the Adirondack Diesel on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

The Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 124 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

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

It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

The 11.8 mpg city and might not look great. And it isn't. But there are worst options out there. That is no excuse however. The Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.

In some sense the Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Adirondack Diesel isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.

When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Adirondack Diesel you'll see other Van on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
