No. My Yamaha gas cart is 10 years old and is without any issues. It has over 2000 hours on the engine and close to 40K miles. Yamaha warranties the engine for 5000 hours (essentially 80K miles) if you use Yamalube and follow their maintenance schedule. There is some small print but they obviously think the engine will last a long time. You can cherry pick and probably find some example of a premature engine failure but that is true for almost any consumer item, include a premature electric motor failure in an electric golf cart. BTW, I have both a gas golf cart and an electric golf cart.

not manufacturers so called premium or luxury seats......save your ass and check the internet....electric motors will last for 20 years, gas good for 5, before issues, too many moving parts, just look at all the used gas for sale, usually 4-5 years old, passing the problems on, gas too loud, electric can hear yourself think and talk to passenger...........you are on the right track, just not Yamaha, like I said, they have bugs to work out........
