We have one of each, a 2010 EZGO RXV electric and a 2014 Yamaha Gas. Love the EZGO for the quiet drive and dependability. It has the 4/12 volt battery configuration and when the batteries need replacement, I will convert to the 6/8 volt system for the added range. I also have the BatteryMINDer which I feel has added to the life of the batteries and would recommend it to anyone with an electric cart.

We bought the Yamaha gas for the added range and not worrying about running out of power. My wife and I love to go out and explore The Villages and love the fact that we have a 200+ mile range.

I have 12,000 miles on the EZGO and 1,000 on the Yamaha (purchased in July).

As far as noise and smell, we have not noticed any smell from the gas, driving or parked in the garage. OK maybe the people driving behind us get a whiff, but not extreme even in the tunnels. The Yamaha is a bit noisy when accelerating but at cruise speed, not bad at all.

Nice thing about the EZGO is the automatic brake feature while golfing. The cart locks the brakes in 2 seconds after stopping so you don't have to manually depress the parking brake when you stop at each hole.
