So I’m pretty much sold on a late model Yamaha gas cart. And leaning towards buying from The Villages Golf Cars.

Please discuss accessories which you consider “must haves” - ones that really make the golf cart experience more comfortable or practical or safer.

Thanks in advance,

If you are planning to use your cart for short trips (as most people do) you might consider buying an Electric cart, which gives you certain advantages - quieter, no need to fill the tank with gas, greater reliability as electric motors are just about indestructible, lower center of gravity (so you don't roll over on a hill or curve), better acceleration, and better deceleration.
.......If you HAVE to get a noisy, smelly, gas burner, then the newer Yamaha is the best. If you buy from a dealer outside of The Villages, then you will get a better deal. The dealers INSIDE The Villages know that they have a SOMEWHAT captive audience.
