For Yamaha, you want at least a 2017 model. 2017 is when they released the Drive 2. It's far quieter than earlier models, but more importantly, this is when they introduced independent suspension and the ride is FAR better than 2016 and earlier. We had a 2013 in incredible shape - took a ride once in a 2017, and then sold the 2013 and bought a 2017.
There is virtually no difference between a 2017 and 2018-2021. Same ride and design. It's little things - the 2018 had the thicker steering wheel, the 2019 has a different colored gas pedal, they introduced auto turn signals in 2021. But the design and ride remain the same.
If you see a deal on a cart from 2017 and up, go for it!
