This dark green, humble looking cart is as important to the family as an heir is to a King. This 14 year old EZ-GO was the last vehicle my grandfather bought, he passed away in 2006 and this cart represents him and what he loved doing the most. The decision to change this cart to buy a new one has come up several times, but we have always walked out of the deal for the fear of loosing something so significant to my family. A new one has come by, but for the people in my family who plays golf (My aunts, my father, and I) this cart has much higher value than any other.

This is a 2001 EZ-GO PDS version in dark green and gold accents. This is as basic as you can get a golf cart which does its purpose of moving you from shot to shot without you having to carry the golf bag. It will also hold your drinks. These days you can get golf carts with headlights, stereos, leather wrapped wheel, cooler, club washer etc. But this simplistic approach to a golf cart is as honest as they get, it does what it was designed for, and that is fine by me.

Kinja'd!!!

The location of this road test was the Club Campestre Tampico. A country club done by the Englishmen that came in the 1920's to the city when Oil was starting to sprout from our soils. In the beginning, there were only 9 holes, but in 2008 an island was opened to give home to another 9 holes. My grandfather invested in this project in 2005, but never got to see it finished. It is a bite the back of your hand gorgeous place, and where hundreds of memories I have lived by were created.

This car also has sentimental value to me since it was the first 4 wheeled vehicle I was able to drive without adult supervision. As I had 13 years old, my father sent a letter to the club permitting me to drive the cart without supervision. This was my passport to a beginners course of what I love doing the most. Driving. I discovered what understeer is, what G-Force feels, how hard braking, cornering, and accelerating in a rhythm made me a better driver. I connected with it, I bonded with it, and thats why my first Oppo Review had to be dedicated to this. My instructor, my liberator, my companion, and one of the most important machines of my life.

Exterior: 7/10

Kinja'd!!!

This cart has the same appeal as steelies. It is so simple and uncumbersome it shows off a rudimentary beauty that I appreciate. Its discrete in showing off, and I respect it for that. Newer, better equipped cars may come with lights and sporty rims, but this is the basis of everything. This is the image everyone thinks of when they think "Golf Cart". All complimented by the dark green, gold accents, and several spoked hubcaps to give this an elegant look.

Interior: 3/10

Kinja'd!!!

This is the interior. You can hose it clean. You sink into the comfy seats. You can now move on.

Acceleration: 5/10

Kinja'd!!!

This is a battery powered cart. It is EXACTLY like a Tesla, only your top speed is little lower. Also it is exactly like a BMW in which it is electronically limited to 20MPH. It is powered by 8 Trojan batteries the size of an ipad. Acceleration though is quite surprising, you sink into the seats if you full throttle it thanks to all that torque. When you get to 20, then it all sets in.

Braking: 7/10

Kinja'd!!!

This thing has stronger brakes than you think, and they are really difficult to modulate. At first the pedal has little travel to make the stops comfortably, and dignifyingly. But when you go an inch deeper than that it makes all 4 wheels lock. Try braking cautiously without locking up in the tens of hills of the club and you might see that I really gained some skill. Tires squeal like a stabbed Chinchilla, and you make a once silent golf course into a noisy displeasure to the players. When fully utilising the brakes though they stop you fantastically quick.

Ride: 6/10

Kinja'd!!!

The ride is a bit choppy for a thing thats intended for comfort. But in the end, this was designed to be in the neatest cut grass, and in that environment it is great. No drinks have been spilled.

Handling: 6/10

Kinja'd!!!

This is where things get interesting. The cart rolls and rolls, and since the seats are basically slabs of foam you have to be sure to be grabbing that wheel. This has the quintessential sports car trait of RWD, but it can also tend to understeer in the corners. Powerslides? The surface has to be fully greased up or something, but most of what I learned about car control in corners was thanks to this guy. The steering offers plenty of feedback through all the nice corners of the coarse. I really enjoy driving it.

Gearbox: 10/10

Kinja'd!!!

Its smooth, and does its job fantastically.

Toys: 2/10

You can bring your Ipad or laptop and there is a place to put it. There are places to put drinks. There are places for your golf balls.There are places for your golf bags. There are also places for the tees. There are places for pencils. The key is simpleness. It also has a key. And I mean, you are playing golf, that should be the biggest entertainment.

Kinja'd!!!

Audio: 0/10

Kinja'd!!!

You can hear the whining of the batteries ,but the main noises you'll want to listen are the birds in the sky, the squirrels in the trees, and an occasional crocodile eating its prey.

Value: 9/10

Kinja'd!!!

This car was the base model, and for that you still get the comfiest seats, the hubcaps, and all of the places to store your things. It probably is worth nothing now, but for something that goes 20 MPH and can teach you some basics of driving whilst being useful for golfing it is pretty good value in my book. Sentimental value speaking, its worth millions.

I know this isn't the most exciting thing to ever be reviewed on Oppo, but it means a whole lot to me. I want to keep this thing forever, and let my kids drive it and experience it the way I did. I want this to teach them the edges of grip, the importance of steering feel, weight transfer, the amazingness of a bench seat. I want this to create as much memories for them as it did for me. That is why for my first Oppo Review, I give you this. My 2001 dark green EZ-GO PDS.

Haha I really enjoy golfing, and actually this cart is what brought me to the sport. I first only went with my father to drive it on sundays. Then we started bringing a golf club to see if I could. Next thing you know I was 2 years in classes and used the car since.

I was unaware of this button the first time I drove a golf cart. I put my foot on the gas and promptly backed at full speed into my friend's shed. It was, of course, in the wrong position.

The golf cart I learned to drive on - can't remember the make but it was an old (mid 80s) propane powered model - didn't have a button like this. It had a little lever underneath the driver's position that actuated forward/reverse. It only worked about 60% of the time.

Regardless, that thing hill hopped just as good as the Honda FourTrax 125 I upgraded to.

Thanks a lot! Yees this thing has something of an old school feel that makes us remember my grandfather. We have been this close to selling it to people, but we back out of the deals when we see it for the last time and think something that represents him so well will be sold and probably abused of.

I think they built these things not far from here. The design really hasn't changed since 1962. You would think after this many years, they would be eager for a newer, more modern looking design, but nope. If you want 'different' you can get one that looks like a 57 Chevy, or and Enzo or some other obnoxious crap, but modern. Nope. We don't do that, here.

I learned to drive on a gas powered version of one of these EZ-GO carts. My friend had a farm and they used the thing for everything. It had a inline 2 cylinder, 8hp Subaru engine with a CVT that drove a rear axle. The CVT didn't change ratios smoothly, it would hold a low ratio until a certain RPM was reached, then quickly changed to a high ratio and at the same time had a mechanism that would pull back on the throttle to limit top speed. You could mess with that mechanism to make it pull the throttle back less to get more speeeeeeeed. That thing towed hay trailers, rollers, feed carts, and we went trail riding in it.

But, you would have a hard time locking up all four wheels when it only has rear brakes. You can see in the fourth to last picture, there is nothing inside the front wheel but a hub.

All I know is the gas powered carts. I help run a music and arts festival, and the staff are put on carts. The property is a bit more rugged than a golf course. I would argue that a slide is easy if you lock the parking break in place while in motion. You would be surprised how well these handle rough terrain, as all the weight is in the chassis and your own ass. Leaning is sometimes necessary for the off road stuff, but unlike a bike, there's really not enough points of contact for you to use to lean effectively.

Hahah Where are you? This was bought in Harlingen TX since it was close to the border and my grandfather had to two it back to Tampico which is around 6 hours away. Also, these are the new cars EZ-GO is doing, we have one just like this, but the green is still my favourite.

05/02/2014 at 10:06

Don't sell it! I also had my first driving experiences in a golf cart, and I know that it helped prepare me for driving a car. Just keep the cart going strong, because it will almost certainly be abused, and it is great to have so many memories attached to it.


Kinja'd!!! Vicente Esteve > HateBox
05/02/2014 at 10:07

Kinja'd!!!1

Hahah of course these can get into a slide if you go the top speed, and stab the brake pedal. I once tried it on a small slope going downward and the cart 360d on me. I was so scared but at the same time It felt amazing!

I will never sell it, I have told my father and he agrees totally. Although If I end up living somewhere else, which is pretty much what will happen since my town is dead, I will have to take it with me.

Hahaha I actually have never tried that before! But I fear the rear tires would just explode. They needed changing, but my father just took it to this guy who put coke in it and some other butch job Mexican technique so the air would stay in. It has been like 6 months and the tire is still great.

I can't believe I didn't think of writing a review about one of these! My family has two at our lake house, and I owe all of my braking and car control skills to learning on one of these. The limits are so low that you can constantly threshold break, keep momentum, find the right line, and modulate the throttle. Great writeup!

The best part of this is that my dad doesn't golf. He owned a body shop / did custom cars when I was a kid (he manages a body shop, now). Basically this started because my grandma moved three houses down from him, and needed a way to get her to their house. His Ram Quad Cab is too big for her to get into and my mom's Charger R/T is too low, so he got a beater golf cart, fixed it up, and was happy with it... until internet forums told him they could go faster. A couple years later he's going 80mph in a custom electric dragster.

Great review! Unfortunately where I live any 2001 EZ-GO will have a cracked frame and other issues due to rust (Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico). My community ride of choice is a 2005 Club Car DS Villager Gasoline (Aluminum Chassis). Some people try the electric cars here but the salt in the air can cause problems for those too.

Haha no problem at all I have been in school for 16 years where they have forced me to speak English only. Also, I've watched a whole lot of Top Gear and learned words like Quintessential and Mesmerising.

This is a fantastic review and one that also hits close to home. The last vehicle my dad bought before he passed away wasa bright red Yamaha (with a stuck on Ford badge)golf cart that looks pretty similar to the EZ-Go you reviewed here. He had hip replacement surgery but still wanted to enjoy the nature and trails near our house. He used it very responsibly in the woods, maintaining the trails and cutting back branches. Ours only has rear brakes- which made locking them up very entertaining, and the electronic governor was removed. We used it to dopower slides on wet grass and race my friend's dad's cart on the trails... fun for all ages! Unfortunately we have out grown it and most of the time it just sits waiting for our guests to ride around in in. I think I have only driven it a handful of times in the past few years.

Ha! Beaten to the punch. I've been thinking about reviewing my dad's green electric golf cart, too. It's got some kind of fancy pimp wheels and is a tiny bit newer, though. Same basic idea: goes like stink for something limited to 20 MPH.

Thats very cool, you should try and make a rally course or something and give it use. Oh, and at my country club there is a Yamaha cart with a Cadillac badge up front and small GM squares on the sides.

Haha they do feel quicker don't they? Also, I love just turning vigorously everywhere to understeer and then control it, and then feel like a racing driver, and then I shouldn't be telling you this.

I'd take a point off for the horrible noise it inevitably makes in Reverse.

Actually, this cars tone is quieted down for some reason. Also I agree that it can be the most annoying thing ever.

Haha I have always wanted to try out a sit on lawn mower. My father and I wanted to buy one, take the grass cutting mechanism, and just drift it. But it never happened. At least I have a quad, and that drifts in sand like. Lets just say I am a rally driver in it.
