First, let me clarify; we run a 1992 gas Club Car and a 2010 Electric EzGo and are well satified with both. We have been in TV since 1996 and watched the reputation of Par Car grow very positively. However a couple of things to consider:
A couple of years ago when Par Car went to the oversize wheels they were scraping the ceilings of some of the older tunnels (especially near Lopez). Solution was to drive in the middle and avoid the sides. I don't know if they have since lowered the the cart roof, but I would ask. Also, it is my understanding that Par Car only sells repair parts through the local retailer so independent repair people are paying higher prices and do not stock inventories as they do for other makes. As a result several of the "good" independent repair people will not work on Par Cars. Most cart repairs are relatively simple and can be completed in 30 minutes on your driveway. No- can-do with Par Car. There are several recent threads on TOV on the good and bad of the local dealer's repair service.
Keep in mind that many of the so called features are nothing more than gimmicks in an attempt to justify a higher price and some may even backfire. My neighbor paid extra for sliding bucket seats (which were never moved anyway), thought they were great until his granddaughter came to visit and found out that there was no comfortable or reasonably safe place for her to sit with 2 grandparents.
Whatever you pick, enjoy your new cart!!
