I'm glad dealers talked us out of them when we were shopping several years ago. More disadvantages then advantages for the very few times you would like to use one.
This is true for the Yamaha 4 seater, but not for the Evolution (I believe that the EZ-GO Liberty and Star are the same length as the Evolution). Parking them next to each other, the Evolution is literally 13" longer than a standard Yamaha.

If you have a Yamaha with a rear seat and a drop down gate for feet, when the gate is down it's a bit longer than the Evolution. I've had my cart parked at the square many times, and I don't stick out any farther than 50% of the other carts parked.

Golf clubs aren't an issue because the well that hold clubs is integrated into the frame with no additional length. On a Yamaha (or Club Car) with a rear seat you do have this issue because the club holder is simply added onto the already long frame.
