Am considering a street legal but not interested in a GEM. Hope this helps. I've talked to some people already who have either gas or electric and it pretty much supports what they bought although one or two have said that they will switch on their next buy. I know a lot of people don't like gas carts but you can't always please everyone. I've heard that Ez-Go has a new one that is a lot quieter but I think the occasional smell is just the nature of the beast.

The wife and I just ordered a street legal, or LSV (low speed vehicle), Gem Car after much research. This will be our 2nd cart/car, and will supplement our 2003 gas Yamaha. I did test drive the 2008 gas and electric versions of the EZ-Go RXV, and was very impressed, but not so much as the Gem. We decided to go with an LSV. There are several LSVs out there in addition to Gem (which I see you don't like), that you might look at (Tomberlin, Par Car, Th!nk and its Chinese knock-offs, etc.). As far as I know, all LSVs are electric. Not to say that there aren't many gas carts out there capable of 25 mph, just that they are not street legal. As expensive as they are, I don't believe the Street Rods are street legal LSVs, either.
Good luck with your shopping!
