This may not help you but here goes. Regarding noise, I would take it for a test drive and see if you are OK with the noise. If you have concerns about the newness of the Club Car then you may want to consider the Yamaha as they are a known quantity with an established record of reliability. If you are shopping at The Villages Golf Cart Store, you may also want to visit Carts and Clubs in Ocala. They have Yamaha gas carts. I believe their Yamaha carts are quieter than the Yamahas from The Villages Golf Cart Store based on riding in carts from both locations. Good luck with your new ride.

My main objection to gas in the past was the engine noise and being able to carry on a conversation. The Club Car seems to be quieter.
For those who have purchased the 2015 Club Car EFI gas cart .... a few questions:
1. how do you find the noise level?
2. any issues or problems with cart performance?
3. literature and online searching implies that the cart is limited to 19mph with some type of accelerator option (so it is faster than standard golf course cart). Is the cart capable of going faster than 19mph with governor adjustment? Not looking for high speed, but, I would like a cart that can go 22-23, if needed.
4. 8" or 10" tires? which makes more sense
5. Is speed maintained going uphill?
6. If you owned a prior gas vehicle, how does this one compare? noise, smoothness of ride, acceleration, etc.
Thanks for any insights you can provide. This cart has only been around since last July, so, there is not much out on the Internet/google as far as user experience.
