and now it's not that crowded around here.
When behind another gas cart it smells twice as bad (theirs and yours).
Secondly noisy, I've read here that they are not, again not true, they certainly are noisy reminds me of my sit down lawn mower at home.
This should be called an egg beater not a cart, it vibrates a lot, the canopy and other parts rattle.
Last point for any cart, my cart at home I cut the steering post 4" it is much more comfortable to drive I forgot how high the standard steering wheel height is.

Sounds like you just got a bad one that needs a tune-up. Our gas cart is great. Yes it is louder than an electric cart, but we can climb hills with no problem and no reduction in speed. We don't have to worry about plugging it in or if the batteries need replacing. We also don't have to worry about having a mat underneath it when it's parked so we won't get those rusty looking battery acid drips on our garage floor. We don't smell it at all. Once you do move here, give both gas and electric a try. Many, many of us prefer the gas carts for many reasons.
