If you never leave the "bubble" you can get by with just a golf cart. If you think you will want to travel around the state you will need a car. If you need medical care not available in this area and may have to go to Orlando, Gainesville, or Ocala you will need a car. There are a number of good restaurants outside of the bubble but you will need a car to get there. Should you want to go shopping in Orlando you will need a car. I participate in sports activities outside TV but I need a car to get there. My advice, keep a car for the first year and then decide if you need it or not. For me a golf cart is useless and uncomfortable, I'm not a golfer and I like to drive in a heated and airconditioned vehicle when I travel.
