Yamaha golf carts have historically had a good reputation according to my research, but I have experienced a lot of quality control problems.

I purchased my 2016 Yamaha new from The Villages Cars. They have been good, but the cart has seen and is seeing quality problems.
1) Initially was getting transmission fluid on garage floor. Turns out the filler hole was incorrectly located. Need to use heavier transmission fluid.
2) Front wheel bearing failed - clunking noises. The Villages Golf Cars replaced - in warranty
3) Rain side curtain rivets along roof line failed. The Villages Golf Cars replaced free - in warranty
4) While getting side curtain replaced the tech noticed wear on brake cable - in warranty replacement (I never received a notice on that Yamaha recall).
5) 2 weeks later rivet failures on other side. The Villages Golf Cars replaced free - in warranty
6) Latest is accelerator spring. Received letter from The Villages Golf Cars - in warranty

When my 4/5 year warranty (Yamaha/The Villages Golf Cars) expires I will be on the hook for these quality control problems.
I don't have any personal experience with other brands so cannot say if other brands are better or worse. I would like to hear about other people's experience.
