As far as ride, I personally don't think anyone can really say one rides better than there's. I think the key is, by the better seats for a better ride. I prefer gas only because the 17 & 2018 are just as quiet as the electric, almost. The new Gas carts go 260 mi. on a tank of gas, can't speak for the electric carts, gas carts you only have to put 5 gal. of gas in for about 6 to $8. electric carts you charge them every 50 or 60 mi. & in 5 or 6 yrs. you get to spend $1,000. to $1,200. for batteries. Don't take me wrong they both have their advantages. Now the last thing, go to Webster, FL. a half hr. from here to the Stihl hardware they sell carts, you can save $2,000. on a basic cart & then you add your options. I'm buying a new one there with trade in on my 2013 for $6,600. & that's with about $500. worth of options. (I told them I would like to get $4,500. for my 2013, which has 24,000 miles on it, they offered me $5,560. more money) Go check it out you have nothing to lose but to save money there. They're not high pressured either. Good luck, I hope I helped!

EZ GO hands down, it has an A/C electric motor, doesn't slow down going up hill and doesn't slow down when battery starts getting low. Longer range than other electrics...our is 5 years old and just now replacing batteries...Gas carts all stink and make noise, I don't care what they tell you just follow them in the tunnels,,,,Villages is now selling the EZGO electric what does that tell you

Electric or gas comes down to personal preference. Electric I would go with EZGO and gas with the new quite Yamaha. For comfort the best seats you can find. They make a difference.

Par car beats them all. With seat belts of course.

Club Cars are the best. We've had several models and the best-running and best made are the Club Cars.

I went shopping for a new cart myself several months ago. Streetrod ( who had "no skin in the game") recommended ez go if I prefer electric I DO.

Villages "push" gas carts. I drove one for a day to confirm I prefer electric. my preference is to purchase what I want, rather than the "best deal" you will ENJOY whatever time we have left on this earth !!!!! do what YOU want, not what a salesperson thinks is best for you.

Club Car--one finger turning! I have been told by five cart guys--4 mechanics, 1 battery replacement guy--NOT to see my 2003 Club Car. They all said that and went on to tell me why; the years 2000 through 2--5 were the best years for limited repairs.

I won two 2003 carts. I get Willie to come and check them every six months--$100 a year. So . . . get a used Club Car.

Lee Stroud, do you mean 2000 to 2002 are the best years, or 2000 to 2005, or 2002 to 2005?

Just curious, as I'm just starting to hunt.

Get a gas cart- batteries are $$$ costly get a upgraded seat- get the larger tires, get a 2017 yamaha fuel injected cart with independent rear suspension, 2017 also has more insulation, and different muffler system--- now you have a quiet gas cart, that is comfortable to drive. You have great ride ,and great handeling. This is all based on a golf cart , not a sports car
