Great info especially re the enclosures being so nice.
Definately getting the speedo.
C&C said their tailpipe is all steel rather than rubber and a pipe at TV Cars.
If they don't have the signal indicators on the posts then I would add later.
I'll have to go see them before I get one.

Another vote for Cart and Clubs Our renters arrived and the cart would not stary. Called them at noon and they were there by 2pm and had it running by 2:20. That's service

From reading this it seems the Ocala dealer has a nicer aftermarket enclosure. One thing to consider is how much do you really use them. I know I see some carts that have them down or sections down all the time. I got my Yamaha last July and it wasn't until last Thursday when I got caught in the rain at Cane Garden was the first time I even undid the enclosure, 8 months before I used it. After it dried that night in the garage I rolled it back up. To me it's not a deal breaker to not buy from Villages Golf Carts because their enclosure is not as nice. Plus the enclosure I do have from Villages Golf Carts, after finally using it I realized it was pretty nice.

Here's my cart. This is before I had the sideview mirrors lowered. The sunshade is black with gold stripes and the ultimate seats are black with gold inserts. Also you can see the SS wheels and the black roof. A few of the extras I added.

Thats pretty much what I will be getting.
Onyx with Ultimate sport seats with taupe rough grain in the center and black elsewhere with the carbon fiber dash kit.
Side marker lights, mirrors like yours.
We picked out a black and beige tweed cover.
Have to check into the black roof though.
Where did you get yours?

Villages Golf Cars said they don't make a black roof, but the dealer takes it off and does a really good paint job for $300. Make sure those large side mirrors top edge are in line with the middle bar on the windshield, that way you have a clear view when making turns. Otherwise it creates a blindspot that can cause a head-on collision. The LED lights on the posts are inside the cab so you'll know your turn signals are on. Since Yamaha doesn't have an audible sound it's easy to forget they are on, especially the left one because the indicator light is below the steering wheel in your line-of-sight.

If you're a golfer, you'll find it's handy to have a sand bottle on each side so when you pull up to the passenger's golf ball, he can get to the sand without walking around the cart. It's good to save time on the course.

On the Ultimate Seats make sure you get the version with the center arm-rest. I find that it makes driving the cart so much easier since there are no doors like on a car and it's the only place to rest an arm while driving.

Great info on the mirrors; I would never have thought of it.
I will be getting the LED turn signals on the posts for that very reason and the side marker lights.
We sat in the Sport bucket seats with 3 armerests and they were amazing.
Thanks.
