Also, most days in the summer, there is a risk of an afternoon thunderstorm. I'd rather have my car in the afternoon for that reason.

Finally, before you buy a Star, consider contacting Botero in Ocala, (352) 615-8882. We got ours from their and saved a lot compared competitors. They delivered our cart and they will come out to fix your cart if you have a problem. My experience with them has been great, but of course "your mileage may vary". Best of luck!
Our experience motors you're almost exactly. We bought from Hidden Creek Golf carts here in the villages. Their customer service has been exceptional so far.
