We know we would like a gas model.

Where is the best place to purchase one?
What " bells and whistles" should we addd?
Which brand is "better?"
Is "roll up" curtains better than the hard plexi/plastic doors?
Buying new vs a used cart?
Thank you for all your input. We appreciate your thoughts/advice.
Just curious, based on your first two comments how did you arrive at the decision to only "like" a gas model?

We felt somewhat the same way but after looking and trying both gas and electric soon realized our initial opinions of both types did not prove to be as influential in our final decisions as we initially thought they would be.

Our first suggestion would be not to rush into your first purchase…give yourself at least a few weeks of living in TV to get your feet on the ground and have a better sense of how you will use your cart(s).

Please don't let my comment turn this thread into a "war" between gas vs. electric carts. My question is a sincere one and offered from our experiences in making the same decisions for our two golf cart purchases.

PM me, we would be happy to share how we arrived at our choices.
