Our Yamaha with a carburetor cost $9000 new in 2016. I love our cart. The only extra I got was the special paint for either $300 or $400 more. I put new tires and a battery before they went bad as a safety measure.

You really can't go wrong any way you go. Star Carts were off limits in 2016 and now I see them all over the place. Electric VS. Gas. A personal preference strictly. Both reliable and it doesn't matter which one you decide on.

Being taken home and being able to continue on are very different.

A few years back, one of our golf group members drove up in his electric cart and announced that he forgot to plug it in. Could he ride with someone. This is the exact reason I did not buy an electric cart.

Would not cost me a penny more than the guy bringing you a can of gas. If you are not capable of looking and monitoring your charge level, you probably would run out of gas as well.

I thought they were up to 80 miles but maybe not. From my house to Fenney Grill is 26 miles so there is not much else I would be able to do if I had an electric cart. With my gas cart I can easily get 100 miles in a day. Not everyday but good to know it isn’t a problem.

What is the considered the best brand and I'm assuming gas would be the way to go?
Thanks

IMHO, gas Yamaha. You can get a good deal on a factory restored one, not necessarily quiet tech.

After 14 years of driving gas carts here, we bought an electric Evolution cart with a lithium battery. Couldn't be happier, and would never go back to gas. 85 mile range, very quiet, very comfortable. Love not having to get gas for it; easy plug-in whenever we bring it into the garage; no complex maintenance for the battery. We never come close to using up even half of its range.

Sirius EV. 80 miles on a charge. Quiet and fast. Lots of headroom. Neat trunk in the front for beer and drinks. Nice display that gives mph and charge. App on your phone connects to battery to give exact charge and battery health. I can go from the south of the villages to Lopez and play 18 and drive home and still have a third of a charge left. Nothing better. Uses the receptacle in your garage.

When ready to buy, go to Carts and Clubs in Ocala. Make an appointment with Peggy. Saved over $4000 on same cart with The Villages. Deliver to your home and will service at your home.

Yamaha is the most seen , I personally would look have to a more modern looking design. Yamaha has had that designed cart for probably 10 years also the lithium battery carts are really taking off, those that have them love them. Great range low maintenance.

I have an Evolution electric. Love the convenience of just plugging it in. No smell, no stopping at gas station. I find electric quieter. I have more than enough range about 60-70 miles. That's long enough to ride in golf cart. I find I take the cart for short trips and entertainment and I take the car when I have a purpose for a trip.
