There is some gain in reliability, don't get me wrong but in cars it is necessary and a great marketing ploy as most people do not understand the difference.

Because of that general ignorance I would get a TBI cart just to make it easier to resell when the time comes.
TBI systems in vehicles hasn’t been around since mid 1990’s. What I like about fuel injected golf carts I don’t have to worry about stale gas plugging up injection system cause there no fuel setting in fuel bowl and the start better, warm up better, run better, and I don’t have to fool with choke on cool mornings.

One more thing, FI hold tuneup longer, rarely have to change spark plug cause they better mix the fuel ratio. Where carburetor can run rich or lean and foul out spark plug. This also affects engine oil getting contaminated quicker.
