Just my opinion.

I don't drive every day. When it's raining I take my gas-powered car. If I'm going far from the house, but still within The Villages, I decide how much time I want to dedicate to the trip. If I'm in the mood to enjoy the ride, I'll take the gas-powered golf cart. Brownwood Town Square is 11.4 miles from my house, so that'd be 22.8 miles round trip, in my gas-powered golf cart. I do that several times a year.
Sumter Landing is 4.5 miles from my house, so that's 9 miles round trip. I drive that with my golf cart usually once a week, sometimes more.
I sometimes go to Colony by golf cart, once in awhile to Odell Rec Center, once in awhile to Sawgrass - by golf cart.
I get a kick out of the drive, the fact that this is a golf cart community was one of the main reasons why I am here, rather than back north missing my husband (he's another reason but, that should be a given).
