We have both a gas Yamaha and Club Car. Without a doubt the Yamaha is roomier, especially legroom wise. My wife is about 5' 2" and much prefers the tighter fit in the Club Car and I am over 6' tall and very much prefer the extra leg room in the Yamaha. I also find the Club Car more difficult to get into and out of when driving as there is not much room between the steering wheel and the seat. The Club Car is OK for just a drive, but I never would take it golfing when I have to get in and out of the cart often. Also, when I drive the Yamaha I have very good vision since I am looking right between the roof line and the seam in the fold down windshield, but when I am driving the Club Car I have to duck my head a little bit or the roofline takes away some of my field of vision. When it comes time for us to buy a new cart, I will go straight to Carts and Clubs of Ocala and get a Yamaha Quiet-Tech, it's the only cart I would even consider.
As far as aftermarket seats, they make a huge difference and are worth every penny in my opinion. Different seats fit peoples body types differently, so I would recommend going to a couple of golf cart dealers and sitting in the various seating options until you find the one that fits you the best. Good luck.
