For a new gas powered golf cart, looking at either the Yamaha PTV or the Club Car Onward.

What's the opinion of the group, based on experience?

Thx

Gas cart hands down Yamaha is the best. Quiter(tire noise is louder than engine noise) higher roof level( I am tall and have to duck to get in and out of other carts) More user friendly dash. Very reliable.

Hopefully in future these cart manufacturers will start adding items like disc brakes on them. Saw a golf cart/off road vehicle in Walmart with 4 wheel disc brakes, more beefed up suspension etc. and it was $8000.

You should test drive both. I have a 2022 Yamaha and recently drove a 2023 Club Car (both carts were gas models). The Yamaha hands down is better. The Club Car is MUCH louder and rides like one of the maintenance carts you see around a course.

Gas Club Cars are really LOUD.

Gas Club Cars are loud. I've never driven an Onward but I own a Precedent. The suspension is horrible. Just springs, no shocks. But it turns much tighter than our Yamaha does, and that's a huge plus around here, where you never know who, or whose dog, is going to dart into the middle of the road without warning and you need to get around them in a hurry.

We have both. Wife is 5’2” and loves the club car, but I am 6’1” and totally cramped in it. I love the room and ride of the Yamaha. Yamaha is less noisy and takes the bumps better, but club car has more power and tighter steering. The club car also has a stronger appetite for gas and has proven to require more maintenance.

CC cheap, Yamaha luxury.

No brainer - Yamaha.

There is a reason for the Yamaha making up around 7 out of 10 gas carts in The Villages. They are quiet. They have 4-wheel independent suspension. They are reliable. There is no shortage of qualified folks to service them. Take test drives and compare for yourself. Next to the Yamaha, you will find the Club Car is excessively noisy, and rides like a skateboard.

If you have a screen on your garage door watch the height of the cart.

Get the Club Car gas unless you want everyone passing you. The speed is better and you will be able to keep up with the rest.
