Others have good things to say about the Star and the Evolution.

One thing we avoided was the taller carts. There are at least two tunnels in the northern section that have lower clearances. The tall carts *should* be able to make it through but we didn't want to take the chance.
I decided to go with an Evolution D5 Ranger 4 forward seat golf taller cart with a 205 amp lithium battery even though I was cautioned about potential issues going through some tunnels up north. The dealer told me he'd give me smaller tires to lower the cart but that he was certain that I wouldn't have a problem. So far, the dealer was right. I've been through just about every tunnel up north with no issues. I have not been through the Saddlebrook tunnel, but it doesn't look any lower than others, however the steep angle going into the tunnel could be an issue. I will try it at some point but so far, I'm very happy with the purchase decision.
