The best built cart and number 1 cart manufacturer in the world is Club Car for obvious reasons. Check how they are built compared to other brands. Of course all brands will have certain Pro’s & Con’s but I love both my Club Car Precedent and Onward, both gas. Would not trade them for anything else even if the Villages Cart Dealership don’t really push these to customers.

Club Car has had several unscheduled maintenance problems, is significantly louder, has much less room for the driver and passenger, has a much stiffer suspension so driving over bumps is unpleasant, gets worse gas mileage, and the wheel well wouldn’t accommodate 10 inch tires without a lift kit. The Yamaha on the other hand has only had one minor issue in seven plus years, a heat shield that began to rattle, which was easily fixed with a couple of oversized hose clamps. The Yamaha has much more driver/ passenger space, is extremely reliable, very comfortable and absorbs bumps very well, is extremely quiet, and gets fantastic mileage and has about 275 miles of range. The only advantages I would give the Club Car is that the steering is a little tighter and it’s much smaller driver cockpit area is a better fit for short people like my wife and daughter.

It’s no surprise gas Yamaha carts are by far the most common ride in the Villages, they are simply the best.

Slight difference of opinion

I own a Yamaha EFI, my wife has a club car. There is no comparison, the club car sucks for all the reasons tophcfa mentioned, and a few more.
