We heard the ones with 4 seats facing forward might be tight turning into the tunnels.
If the cart doesn't have the rear facing seats, is that something we can bolt on in the garage and just have laying around for when we need it? Or is it permanently welded?
What about other factors that would make us want or not want a particular cart? We thought about a locking glovebox but learned they're not that secure. And when we rented a cart half the time we left the keys in the ignition while we shopped and dined, and nobody took it, so apparently that's not an issue either.

Check the header here, "Golf Carts and Cars". Quite a few for sale and in general you'll pay less for a used cart from a private party than from a dealer.
Don't know about bolting rear seats on when you need them. My guess is that would be make-and-model dependent. A dealer could give you more info. on that.
Oh--and don't take the honesty of the people here for granted. I've had sunglasses stolen from our cart. Some months back a cart (or carts?) had the windshield stolen near Spanish Springs. And carts have been known to disappear: read not long back about a cart that was left outside overnight and was stolen from a driveway. Theft is a crime of opportunity, so don't leave too much temptation (keys in ignition, sunglasses on the dash, etc.) laying around.
Oh--and a locking glovebox? Can't hurt. As Dad always used to say, "locks are for keeping honest people honest". Sure an habitual thief could probably pry a locked glovebox open in a few seconds and abscond with what is in there, but why tempt others?
