When we first moved here 5 years ago, my wife insisted we buy a 4-seater. So we purchased a new EZGO RXV 4 seater electric. The golf clubs easily are mounted where the rear passengers place their feet. One thing about the EZGO, it has an AC motor and there is no difference in acceleration and power if you have 1,2 or 4 passengers riding. Yes, with the added weight, range diminishes. 12,500 miles later, it runs great. I like it when playing golf cause it automatically locks the brakes when stopped for 2 seconds. No parking brake to engage after every hole.

We purchased a new 2014 Yamaha gas 2-seater this year, carbureted model. They are approximately $1100 cheaper than an EFI model. Yes, they do approximately 5MPG less than an EFI, but $1100 will buy you plenty of gas to make up the difference.

The gas carts do lose speed when going up a grade so with the added weight of extra passengers, will be pokey up a hill. I have seen conversion kits that are aftermarket if you want to convert a 2-seater to a 4 seater or you can look at the new or used ones and compare.

When you are ready, take your time and look at all the models and test drive them and see what will satisfy your requirements.
