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
RELAXXXXXXXXX YOU ARE ONLY RENTING IT. YOU DIDNT' BUY IT. TO EACH THERE OWN OPINION. SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A BAD ONE, ALOT OTHERS LOVE THEIRS. I WOULN'T DRAW A CONCULSION THAT ALL GAS CARTS ARE BAD , BECAUSE OF ONE...... LIKE CARS, SOME ARE GREAT AND OTHERS DON'T WORK FOR SOME. I WOULD TRY DIFFERENT BRANDS AND DIFFERENT CARTS BEFORE MAKING SUCH A STRONG STATEMENT. BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN. WISH YOU LUCK WITH WHICH EVER ONE YOU CHOOSE. THE ONES WITH RENTALS ARE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE THAN THE PRIVATELY OWNED ONES. THEY ARE NOT MAINTAINED AND DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS FOR ONE. I KNOW BECAUSE I DROVE ONE FROM A RENTAL, AND THEN A NEIGHBORS CART. LIKE A VOLKSWAGEN TO A CADILLAC IN DIFFERENCE AND PERFORMANCE.
