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.
Personally I would not ride in a rear facing seat. If driver had to suddenly stop or slow down, persons in back would not see what is happening. Make sure rear facing seats have seat belts. Been here 3 years and probably could have used a 4 person cart no more than 10 times. Car still can go anywhere (except a golf course) that a cart can. Most of this advise came from a Villages dealer.
