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,

I own two 2018 gas Yamaha carts. One must have is adjustable seats. They don't cost that much more than other "custom" seats. Don't mess with any "blower" as the best think is open front window on hot days. I would also get a windshield that the top half folds down as opposed to just small open vents -again for the hot days.
SELF CANCELING TURN SIGNALS are a must. Just remember to never rely on the folk's turn signals as many carts do not have self canceling and the turn signal may be blinking but they are really not turning. Otherwise, add a beeper that lets you know your turn signal is on.
I believe that visibility low the gold cart is important for safety. I have add LED lights to both carts that are always on white and then blink yellow when turning. It's like having daytime running lights on cars.
Seat belts are another great safety item. Many injuries occur in a golf cart accident when a person gets thrown out.
