Thank you …..
I have a 2021 that I bought new in 2022....just went over 1100 miles. Had a 2021 gas Yamaha that I traded in and the rides are comparable. You can get some super plush seats with Yamaha that are great for riding in and for the most part STAR has them too.

As far as driving, it does sit taller than the Yamaha and the club car. For me it makes it easier to get in and out of. In my Yamaha I felt that my foot was pressed down almost below my knee on the accelerator pedal. Club Car is the worst in that arena. I think if I was taller than 6 foot that might be an issue.
With the STAR I have more than enough leg room.I've yet to encounter a tunnel it could not stay in its lane and make it thru.

I drive a constant 24mph most of the time. The acceleration is unbelievably fast!! You will get an honest 70 miles of range which is good for 99% of the travel in the villages. I live in Marsh Bend and routinely golf north of LSL with no issues, and The only downside is right now there are not a lot of accessories to blow your money on (maybe thats not a bad thing)

They had issues with the brake squeaking but that was repaired under warranty recall. I've heard about some issues with the front A arms breaking, but I'm told that is a warranty recall item also and if they do break STAR will replace them.

I would get another.
