I will second the notion that the golf cars you get for the LSV are NOT comfortable, at all, for longer trips. In our experience anyways.
If you are planning on investing in a comfortable golf car if/when you buy, it is an entirely different animal to go 30-40 minutes in a newer, plusher golf car with comfortable seating. Just be aware, they may be different experiences entirely.
During the LSV we used the supplied golf car about 75% of the time, but we were only five minutes from Brownwood and Publix.
And just a note on our LSV visit (ending of the story is that we bought in Hillsborough early 2022). We did the LSV when we were in our early 60’s. The first 1.5 days we seemingly ran into a very old crowd everywhere we went. Like it seemed EVERYONE was age 80 and above (they weren’t of course). Delightful people but this did not seem close to our demographic at all. We were ready to tell the realtor we'd like to cut our LSV short, but decided to give it one more day.
A chance meeting of friends from home (no clue they were there) on day three changed everything. They clued us in to the what to do and the where to go (for our interests), and we ended up looking for houses before our LSV was over. Made another trip down about 5-6 weeks after LSV and ended up buying.
The moral being it may behoove you to explore beyond the confines of a "non comfy golf car" during your LSV so that your first impressions are based on a wider range of people/locations/activities.
In any event, I hope both your trips go well!
