We have a 2014 Yamaha EFI (electronic fuel injection) gas cart and I would say any exhaust smell is pretty minimal. We have never had a carburetor-based golf cart. There isn't any gas smell that I can detect - very much like a car in that regard, I don't smell gas with cars. Regarding noise, our cart came from Carts and Clubs in Ocala and they put sound deadening material around the engine. I was skeptical at first about how effective it would be. After having been in Yamaha carts from The Villages Golf Cart store I would say that it is very effective as our cart is definitely quieter. Friends who have been in our cart have also commented that it is quieter than their Yamaha. Regardless, they all quiet down at cruising speed - most of the noise is during acceleration. We get about 48 miles per gallon. We put gas in it about every 3 weeks. It meets our needs.

It is quieter, more responsive and doesn't smell anywhere near as bad as the older carbureted models. Our insurance runs $128 per year for all the usual coverages and 250/500 liability and uninsured motorist. I would suggest taking different models for an extended test drive. The Villages Golf Cars will let you take one for a 24 hour period, at no charge.
