We moved to TV in 2008 and have had a 4 seater since that time. We would not buy anything but a 4 seater with rear seat facing backwards. We also would not purchase a cart unless it was from The Villages golf cart store. They are a class operation and have service after the sale! ALL 4 seater carts purchased through The Villages golf cart stores have the beefed up suspensions in them. I have put (2) 250 lb people in the back seat many times and our cart does not sag and drives just fine. It is great to go out with friends to the squares and travel together and our grand kids love it! Yamaha made a major rear seat change in 2017 and to us it is not a good change. The 2016 Yamahas (and prior) have a great looking rear seat with a large cooler under the seat that doubles as a great trunk for groceries etc. The 2017 Yamahas have a cheap looking rear seat with an accordion hinge so the seat can fold down to create a flat area (sort of like a flat bed truck). Looks cheap and no longer has the "swooped up" roof as 2016 and prior. 4 seat carts are the only way to go as far as we are concerned but we will buy a 2016 or earlier (used cart) when we choose to upgrade unless Yamaha gets their 2016 configuration rear seat back. Hope this helps.
