That 5 MPH difference is huge, and I have to say, many of the faster carts were driven by obviously impatient people. So my vote goes for the speed-legal golf cart that goes 19-20 MPH, which is what I will be buying when it's my turn to move to TV.
We've been given golf cars for both of our Lifestyle Preview visits. They are governed to only go a certain speed which is slower than most other golf cars. This is probably a good idea since people on the LPV's are not familiar with the area. Afterall, it's hard to read those maps and drive 19.9 mph.
