The Patio Villa we're renting for the week came with a new Yamaha cart, never drove a gas cart before.

First it smells anyone that says it doesn't I just don't believe, and yes in the tunnels it's worse,
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.

.Just my opinion folks
How do you really feel about gas?
While I like the idea of electric and have driven the GEM vehicles in Michigan we chose the 2013 EFI Yamaha GAS.
No odor in the garage; some odor and noise when driving.
I think all golf carts vibrate; more from the tires than the engine.
Mine has the 14 inch wheels so the ride is prob. not as smooth as 10's just like my car has 20's and its not as smooth either but dam (sp) it looks good.
