Not true. I got a 2023 Liberty Elite Duel Lithium in February for less than a Starr wanted for a four man front facing. I have taken it up to 60 miles on a charge and still have 15% left. It’s been a great cart…our guests love to go out in it.

In the interest of fairness & accuracy ... I own a 2022 Star Sirius. In my opinion, it's the best value in Golf Carts. I think the ClubCar is very close, if they offer a Lithium Option, which they didn't a few years ago. That said, they're are a a few issues to be aware of. The original 2021/2022 the rear Swing Arms are too weak and will break. I've had mine replaced with a "new and improved" Swing Arm, that Star came up with. I understand, they now have a 3rd version. There have been a zillion complaints about the brakes squeaking and the Emergency Brake being tough to use ... your Dealer can adjust that. My cart is currently back in the shop, for a busted Spring in the back and we're waiting for parts that should arrive this weekend (it's been about 5 days). From now on, I'm putting it in Turtle Mode when playing golf and not be so tough on the suspension, speeding over uneven fairways. |

The drive was 40mins with the peddle to the floor (21-22mph), where safe, and yeah, car next time.... Sawmill is a breeze, but longer is just LONGER! The cart has tons of get-up-and-go, on the roads the cruise control is nice to have. We may do different seats later, but no sense in buying something unless we know we want it. |

As far as driving, it does sit taller than the Yamaha and the club car. For me it makes it easier to get in and out of. In my Yamaha I felt that my foot was pressed down almost below my knee on the accelerator pedal. Club Car is the worst in that arena. I think if I was taller than 6 foot that might be an issue. With the STAR I have more than enough leg room.I've yet to encounter a tunnel it could not stay in its lane and make it thru. I drive a constant 24mph most of the time. The acceleration is unbelievably fast!! You will get an honest 70 miles of range which is good for 99% of the travel in the villages. I live in Marsh Bend and routinely golf north of LSL with no issues, and The only downside is right now there are not a lot of accessories to blow your money on (maybe thats not a bad thing) They had issues with the brake squeaking but that was repaired under warranty recall. I've heard about some issues with the front A arms breaking, but I'm told that is a warranty recall item also and if they do break STAR will replace them. I would get another.:eclipsee_gold_cup: |

Club Cart now makes an extended range cart - Onward XR that should get 60 miles.
I think TVGC will service Club Car. |
Reading about the broken suspension bits is disappointing. What tire pressure are you running? It should be set to about 20 PSI.

Do NOT depend on the Star App for accurate battery charge information. The dashboard gauge is more accurate. |

Long term battery replacement
Nobody is talking about what’s going to happen when it’s time to replace your lithium battery. Even the dealers don’t have a plan or know future disposal costs.
The battery will start to lose performance after the 5-8 year warranty expires. You could get stuck with a very hefty disposal cost in addition to a new battery. I love the electric carts except there is that unknown hanging out there. Buyer beware. |
