The carts given to you are slow. The one I had when I did my Lifestyle visit went 14 MPH. A real golf cart will get you 20 mph. Mine new cart was clocked at 21. I'd not want to have a LSV because, a golf cart is a golf cart. I wouldn't want to be rear ended by a tractor trailer because it was in the street lanes. Riding on a golf path or golf cart cart part of the road is a lot safer.
