Thinking about purchasing one of those Atomic Cool Kartz. Any thoughts pro or con?

I love mine, and currently the best value out there. I don’t use mine for golf, some do.

Don't use it for golf, the door slamming on the course is hated by all.

We love ours! In fact, bought our first - a 2016 model coupe and put almost 15k miles on it before we bought our current 2024 model coupe 11 months ago. Already have about 3000 miles on it. Also have a Yamaha! we average about 4k miles per year. We use our carts to go everywhere in The Villages! The Atomic is ALWAYS used on bad weather days. I agree, would not like the doors on the Atomic for golfing.

If you plan on using this for golfing, I would double check that it is allowed and has "turf tires", and I agree with above the doors will be a pain in the butt for golfing.

There are a lot of these used on the golf course, with door slamming and all. Not an issue, it’s a personal choice.

Been in one. I now know how a sardine feels.

Great if you’re a munchkin looking for something to drive down the yellow brick road.

We thought they looked cool, enclosed, a/c, some nice benefits, etc.. Then we test drove 1, no thanks. With a small lithium battery, it would have been $6000 more than the Yamaha we were looking at. Glad we bought the Yamaha.

Looked cool? You’ve got to be kidding.

As they are not golf carts Atomic Cool Kartz need to be kept off the golf cart lanes.

While we would never buy one, I disagree with your statement.

Said with 100% respect, if we all chimed in to just say we disagree with your statement, these forums would be very long. Tho I’m sure some will disagree with me.

Getting in it when you park someplace can be an issue when you have carts on both sides of you. You might be stuck there. You need more width
( kind of like the 4 front facing golf carts, only they are longer they stick out into traffic lane when they park)
Having the enclosed cart is just not the same fun as running around in a golf cart.

I found that out when I owned an Atomic. I mostly drove with the doors off but I had the doors on and parked in half of a parking spot. I never did that again. You will need to park like an automobile to avoid getting trapped.
