It slices, it dices, and it juliennes so I'm surprised they didn't mention vanity mirrors or cup holders.

It does look nice as a YouTube animation so it will be interesting to actually see one.

As many other threads have discussed, we have height and range concerns here in the Villages and I didn't see any specs related to those.

There are reports the frame welds are not well made. They also are long wait times for parts.

I have the Evolution D5 Ranger. 5,000 miles. No issues with frame welds - in fact the frame is stronger than the Yamaha. The Yamaha frame does not extend all the way through on the top - just 4 supports going up and attaching at the corners of the plastic roof. The Evolution frame has solid steel bars on each side going along the entire length of the roof providing a far more stable frame. If you roll it, the roof won't just cave in on you.

I've had several items fixed - zero wait on parts if you have a good dealer.

I previously owned two Yamaha's and a Club Car. This is by far the best cart I've ever owned.

It is 84 inches tall.

A lot for the money.

From AI: The D-Max GT4 golf cart is 83.7 inches tall. The dimensions are also listed as 122.6" long and 56.1" wide (including rearview mirrors)

I have "heard" reports of poor frame welds. Amazon sells cheap TIG/MIG welders

Please give us your impressions.

As carts have increased in height due to demand, the D-Max refrigerator-on-wheels, no exception, it appears as though the family has taken the position that their antiquated infrastructure (ie too small tunnels) is a marketing feature for their captive audience golf cart side hustle.

At what point, if ever, do they give. In and widen the 2 or 3 tunnels up north to accommodate market demand?

Yes long wait times are the norm in our experience! Our Evolution has been out of commission for 2 months now.
Keep in mind the delay has not only been due to parts, but also Progressive insurance has never dealt with claims on an Evolution (such a new cart). Then there is the challenge to find someone to do the needed work. Hidden Carts is doing the work with delays due to vacations, parts, and the back and forth with insurance.

At what point are residents going to realize that The Villages' MMP's were designed for GOLF carts, not transportation vehicles that hold 4-6 people, with a golf club rack stuck on the back? Or raised "golf" carts? Or semi-ATV's?

Residents are the problem, not design.

I’d say half past never.

Can you share who you use for repairs please?
