We are a 2 cart rather than 2 car family. Usually we use the car for trips of more than 20 to 30 minutes by golf cart, but for trips that take less than 20 minutes by golf cart we use the carts almost exclusively. With gas prices being what they are the carts are definitely a less expensive way to travel in TV.

We use the cart more than our car.

When you live in The Villages, normally your retired. We take our carts everywhere we can. We travel 30 miles on some days, sit back and enjoy the fresh air. Don't worry be happy!

Sometimes when we are bored, we just go for a ride in the golf cart. We're thinking about getting a second one because my wife has gotten a job and if she takes the golf cart to work, I'll be stuck with the car.
As far a being hot and using air conditioning, we almost never use the air in out car anyway. It's so much more enjoyable taking a few more minutes and having the wind in your face than driving in a car.

4) I don't think it's fun driving a golf cart. If anything, I think it's slow, boring and dangerous.

We are also a two cart one car family. I use my cart for everything. Church, grocery shopping, doctors appointments, hair and nail appointmnts, going to Walmart, resturants,etc My favorite nail tech left and went to a shop that was not golf cart acesible. She wanted me to follow her to her new shop. I said "No Way" I got a new nail tech.
