We use the golf cart for 99% travel within The Villages. Sometimes the car is not started for over a week. Unlike another poster, I find it a lot of fun to drive around in a cart. I live in the Villages of Santiago and go to the Woodshop quite often. It is 5 miles via cart and takes about 17 minutes. To go by car, it takes about the same amount of time but you have to go thru all the traffic on Rt.441 and drive about 3 or 4 more miles. If you pay attention and obey the rules, it is not very dangerous... I think there are more car accidents in TV than cart accidents. One of my carts has an overhead fan to cool in the hot weather, you can buy heaters for cooler weather and put the sides down when it is raining. My wife feels cheated if a day goes by without riding somewhere in the cart, whether it is to get groceries, the doctors, or just out to eat. Just my opinion!
