Let the fun begin.

Why MUST it be electric?

Because I have borrowed gas and could not hear the passenger (which is sometimes preferable). Also I have a very keen sense of smell. I do not want to smell gas either from the cart or the passenger. I think I am leaning towards the new EZ-GO. If I could only find a no payment no interest deal until 2010. hmmmm!!

zcaveman is really happy with his EZGO, that's likely my top choice right now

We bought our cart at the showroom on 441. We are very happy with the cart.


Their prices are very reasonable also.

We got our golf cart at National Golf Cars in Leesburg. They took so much time with us and everything is perfect. We looked at a few other places, including The Golf Cart Connection, but none can match this price for this quality. Ours is an electric, four seater.
I love it! :bigthumbsup:

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I love my gas cart.

Maybe I have better hearing than normal or maybe a quiet cart, but I have never ever had any problem hearing my passenger talk. I've even asked my passengers if they have trouble hearing me and everyone has said...no, not at all. (Could that be a hint that I just talk loud?)

Perhaps I also have a cart that doesn't emit a lot of fumes because I have never been bothered by them. Then again, I always did love the smell of gas and looked forward to when my dad would fill up...would stick my head out of the window and smell.

Never said I wasn't a little strange...lol.

Bright,
your not strange at all! There is something so appealing to our senses smelling gasoline.
Mabe a little buzz too????? Im with ya, Love that smell!

I think that the predjudice against gas carts is based in experience with the old ones. We rented a gas cart (not from the Villiages) during our visit to TV. It was awful!!! Loud, smelly, bumpy, we decided gas was definitely not for us. Maybe a golf cart wasn't for us either...we are city people and it sure was slow.

Then I rode in Bright's gas cart. It was quiet (we never stopped talking and we heard every word), not smelly, and not very bumpy. The ride seemed short...was that the conversation or was it faster?? Now I am not sure whether our cart will be gas or electric...but I think we will get one. I guess it will be "the best deal."

I agree Susan. The older the cart the noisier and smellier. I hate going into a tunnel just after a gas cart, especially in this warmer weather, it's nasty.
We have an electric cause it was a good deal. I had a hard time getting used to the slower pace of the cart but now I love it. It's really my preferred way to get around TV.

We bought a 08 electric Club Car Precedent from Masters Golf Carts up my the flea market and saved a fair amount of $. They have treated us good and service on a few minor items has been very good so far.

Gas vs Electric? Before we bought we tried both electric and gas 07 and 08 models from Club car and Yamaha. There was no doubt in our mind that the new gas carts were still louder, smelled and had a rougher start and stop ride. The question was then what about the range. We live By LSL and have take the cart from one end of the villages to the opposite end and played 9 holes of golf returning in the dark with the lights on. My battery low light did come on toward the end of the ride but that still indicates about 1/4 charge left and I think our backs would give out before the battery if we tried to drive any further. Batteries of course are brand new so I do expect as they age we "may" not be able to go as far but right now they seem more than sufficient.
