We decided on a 2 seater. When we have visitors, our neighbors lend their cart to us. We reciprocate. Most of the time we only need 2 seats.

A 2 seat cart is easier to drive and to park. Along the roads in the squares, 2seaters can park head-in. A 4seater is too long. It sticks into the traffic and is a hazard. So you have to parallel park or go into the parking lot.

I have heard that 4 seaters are heavier in back and not as stable as a 2 seater.

You can always rent a 4 seater if you absolutely need it. Or you can rent an additional 2 seater and let your visitors have the fun of driving a golf cart in The Villages.

Unless you expect visitors nearly every week, I recommend a 2 seater.
