Interesting comments all around! Here's my 2 cents worth. We have an electric cart and love it because it IS quiet, doesn't pollute, doesn't stink, is a smooth ride and is easy to just plug in to re-charge. We have had to replace the batteries (had it for 4 years) and it is expensive to do that.
I purchased "insurance" through **** Aide (kinda like AAA for golf carts), so that gets rid of my "dead batteries anxiety". It's only $25/year and you get unlimited service calls. I've not had to use them yet (in the 3 years I've had it).
As several others have noted, it's really a personal preference. We, and many others, love our electric carts. Friends and neighbors love their gas carts. Your best bet would be to test drive both types and decide on the pros and cons of both and what you could live with. Good luck!
I see the web site ****'ed out the name of the company I mentioned above, although I don't understand why...I've seen plenty of other businesses mentioned. If you are interested to know what it is, private message me. It's local here in TV and is run by Villagers.
