Please...this is exactly what we went thur this week. Bought a used Clubcar at Wholesale golf carts, when we tested it,the key was in the on postion and it had beautiful bucket seats.so just hit the pedal and go. Once its home I was about to drive it.....mind you im not a small women and I have short legs and arms and a appropriate size chest....I tried to put the key in...I could not reach the ignition..I had a 5''gap! I literally had to lay on the seat and reach under the wheel. Which would not work with a passenger. We contacted Wholesale and they switched out the seat with a bench one....free of charge-very nice of them. So yes, the bench is much roomier-could even put the pooch between us. |

Another advantage of bench style seats is that there is space between the two seats. That is important real estate in our golf cart because that’s where our Border Collie rides.

I have short legs so when I went golf cart shopping my priority was to get seats that move forward, just like in a car. Not all golf carts come like that. I paid extra for the convenience and boy am I glad I did. I drive my cart a lot so the comfort was well worth the price. Just another thing to look for. And yes I have a Yamaha but I think they all come as an option.

I'm not sure your going to find what you look for. It's a cart. For an xxl there just not going to be cozy. Tiger seats are the best . Sold aftermarket. Ar cart used to be a little taller

I resemble that remark (at least the weight part) my wife is taller but as far as weight we won't be going there either!!

At 6 feet, 280 I am comfortable in our Yamaha gas cart. We have upgraded seats but might upgrade them some more as a 4-6 hour ride can get uncomfortable by the end. Go with the roll down sides as anything hard sided might feel too tight. Enjoy.

I had the front set adjusted by removing more foam by an auto body shop on 441 just past the Mexican Restaurant and then had some custom work done on the steering column by an independent guy who did the cutting and fabrication after he constructed someone Lanai in our neighborhood. It turned out great. Then I installed a steering wheel with the bottom of the wheel flat instead of the wheel being a perfect circle.
Then I used smaller plates and ate 6 small meals every day and drank lots of water and deprived myself of NOTHING. The combo of everything gave me a great outcome. PM me if I can help you a little more. I can do better with the names of the people who did the work for me I think. It's been a while but if you need it I'll look. |

What about those egg-shaped carts that are sold and serviced by Chrysler dealers? They’re ugly IMHO, but they are roomy.

We visited several golf cart places from Ocala to Leesburg and the west side of TV. That helped us decide exactly what we wanted. When we went back to that place mentioned above, ready to purchase, the owner/manager actually did his best to try and talk us out of what we wanted. SO, we came back TV shop in Brownwood, with all of our 'likes, dislikes, and don't wants, and designed our own. It's a Yamaha, and we love it (we were able to get an excellerator extension so I could easily reach the petal!

I think you are referring to the Polaris Gems. Those have a really wide wheel base and are very problematic to drive on the narrower paths in the northern sections of the Villages.
