Golf carts have evolved beyond the greens into neighborhoods, campuses, and business complexes. If you’re in the market for a 6-passenger golf cart, whether for family outings, transporting guests, or commercial use, here are some essential tips to help you make an informed purchase.

Determine Your Needs

Before diving into specifications, understand why you need a 6-seater cart. Will you be using it for leisurely drives around a community, for transporting guests at a resort, or for business purposes? Your intended use will influence the type of golf cart and features you need.

New vs. Used

Next, you’ll want to decide whether you want a new or used golf cart. New carts come with warranties and the latest features but are more expensive. Pre-owned models are more affordable but require careful inspection to ensure they are in good condition. Consider your budget and how much you’re willing to spend on maintenance.

Gas vs. Electric

6-passenger golf carts typically come in gas and electric models. Gas-powered models are robust and suitable for long-distance travel or rough terrain but can be noisy and require regular fueling. Electric carts are quieter, eco-friendly, and cheaper to run but need regular charging and have limited range.

If you opt for an electric model, pay close attention to the battery life. Check the type of batteries (lead-acid or lithium-ion), their condition (if buying used), and how long they last on a single charge.

Features and Accessories

Modern 6-seater golf carts come with a variety of features and accessories. Here are some you might want to consider:

  • Comfort: Cushioned seats, adjustable steering, and adequate legroom.
  • Safety: Seat belts, headlights, taillights, turn signals, and mirrors.
  • Convenience: Storage compartments, cup holders, USB charging ports, and canopies for sun protection.
  • Performance: Consider speed, horsepower, suspension, and braking systems.
