Wife and I visited TVGC today and we test drove 2008 Gas and Elect (new 48V package). The ride on both is about the same. The noise on the gas becomes less noticeable as you drive it. We drove our friends for about 1 year before they moved here FT. The Elect now claims same distance as the ParCar. With what I can determine from the data I've collected (off internet) they should do about the same so no real conflict of claims there. The ParCar has "Suite Seats" which can be slide forward/back in the front and bench style in the back (rear facing). Both are very comfortable. The Yamaha seats are OK in front, but the rear bench is like sitting on a rock. Wife who will normally be in back in a 4sum said no way to riding back there. TVGC said they can most likely get us Suite Seats (bench style back and front) at an additional price ($500 per). ParCar didn't have a gas on the lot and now under direct questioning, indicated that they most likely will not get one and they have only sold one in the last year or so. Most people are now buying the Elect with the extended range. My feeling after test driving Yamaha gas/elect, is that the elect does tend to load down a little on the hills (Stillwell leading up to Odell) and that was with only 2 people in the cart. The gas did a little better with the 2 of us and I think would out do the elect in a 4 person comparison.

Price wise, the Yamaha gas/elect and the ParCar are all within $1,000+/- having similar packages. Decisions - decisions - what is a person to do?
