The cart you rented was probably not well maintained if it had this many issues. We have rented carts for our visitors that were obnoxious. We started with an electric cart and after 3 years of battery problems we went with gas. 10 years later we just recently purchased our second gas cart. We got used to the "noise", we never smell it except on a rare occasion when slowing in a tunnel, and our throats have never dried from the fumes (Because there are none). The choice of an electric or gas cart is a very personal one. For us, the pros far outweigh the cons when it comes to a gas cart. I guess if one doesn't mind dealing with batteries (filling with water and cleaning the acid which invariably appears on the garage floor, forking over hundreds of $$ every few years for a set of new batteries....after you have pushed it home a few times) I say go for the electric cart.
