A plus to the Tomberlin is that it is manufactured in Tampa and they are very responsive about questions and issues. Given that EZ-Go has had battery issues with their regular carts, I'd be hesitant to get it. Know absolutely nothing about the 2Five.
I don't think the Tomberlin is made in Tampa. I have a friend with a Tomberlin and he was told that the cart was US made by the Tomberlin dealer. However, there is a plate under the dash that says the cart is made in China with 30% US parts. I like the Tomberlin and that wouldn't stop me from buying it if I were in the market.
