I've had a Club Car electric cart for the eight years I've lived here, and it has been great. Only twice in eight years has it failed me, once due to my own inattention and the other caused by a bad charger. Two weeks ago I bit the bullet and bought a 2021 Yamaha gas cart, and I love it. It is quiet (not as quiet as my mostly silent Club Car, but quiet enough to have a conversation while underway without having to shout), it's not jerky nor does it vibrate. I get why people like electric carts, but with the new quiet technology, I'm sold on the Yamaha. The electric cart was limited to 19.5 MPH and I was getting tired of being tailgated and passed all the time, and the new cart goes just fast enough to stay ahead of all but the crazy fast carts out there. I'm very happy with the new Yamaha.
