The newest Yamaha quietech are actually very nice, we have one and we can hold a conversation at normal voice levels and any speed. Yes, all of the gas golf carts have some odor, which you will typically never smell unless you are backing up, you will smell OTHER gas carts.
My point, get a gas cart use it for a few weeks or months to get an idea of what you actually Need/want, then either keep the cart you picked up or going with something different.
All the older gas golf carts smell after they have gone by your location. It has to be unhealthy to breathe in those pathetic gases. Cars and trucks with much larger motors have much less smell. And not to mention the effect on the upper atmosphere layer.
