Club cars are a real pain if you have to repair the aluminum frame. My dad worked for the largest golf car dealer in Canada and third largest in North America. They sold about $6 000 000 worth of golf carts in a year! These were Yamaha's. They also sell EZ-GO. I remember asking one of the mechanics, who opened his own golf car refurbishing shop, which was better. Yamaha's are easier to service and more durable than Club Car. EZ-GO's I think had more power but Yamaha's way out sell them. You have to remember that they are golf carts. They aren't made for being used the same way a JD Gator or similar utility vehicle is. Golf courses are relatively smooth compared to pasture or the field. Club car makes a carry all with a box on the back that might be built a little stronger. Club cars frames won't rust but can twist. I think Yamaha have something similar. If you're worried about rust, inspect the frame and undercoat it. I say a good Yamaha with Japaneez engineering would be your best bet. My pick would be an old Cushman with an 18hp. twin engine. The same engine used in their utility vehicles. Only one speed though. The body looked like a 57 Chevy. Hope this helps Dave
