The main difference between the Star EV and Par Cars when compared to the big three, is that these two brands are designed for golf course communities...the others are designed for golf course leases. Golf courses are 13 to 15mph environments and the golf carts designed for them have 13 to 15mph brakes, suspensions, and steering gear. The dealers speed them up to make them acceptable but they don't improve the running gear or brakes on little bit.
When you drive a Star or Par Car you have brakes to match the use here in The Villages. Both are American made products. Star is not only assembled in South Carolina, but is listed in the GSA (US Govt) catalogue as an American manufactured product, available for purchase by the US govt.
Both have similar warranties but one of them (Star) is available with a "batteries for life" program that is worth checking out. Also one of the Star dealers is offering a lease program that includes storage and maintenance....something special for the snow birds.
