   We are looking into purchasing some small to midsize utility vehicles, mainly to move people around, but also with a decent payload capacity. Any good or bad reviews?
   
   We have always liked Club Cars, but wonder how the new Subaru engines are holding up. Have noticed on a few different brands single cylinder engines, and there was some concern they wouldn't last as long.
   
   Thanks!

   Mel,
   
   We run several of the Cushman Hauler gas 800's here and they have been great carts. If you upgrade to the aluminum beds and the 1200 even better. https://www.cushman.com/Golf-Turf/Utility/Hauler#incomplete
   
   I even saw them being used at Hobbiton when we visited New Zealand in April. Good enough for Hobbits, good enough for us.

   We've had a pair of Toro MD's for a few months now, and I'm impressed with the design.
   Time will tell if the single cylinder Kohler will hold up, but I suspect it will. Lots of torque, very good braking and handling. The claim is a 1200 lb payload, but I steer my guys away from loading anything too heavy.

   I'm a huge fan of the 72volt EZ-Go Hauler Pros for everyday people moving and transportation. These things have a ton of torque and we have no problem loading them down. Their quiet ride also increases productivity as you move around in play. The charge lasts us all day no problem. We keep the heavier hauling reserved for our Toro Workmans or John Deere Pro Gators.

   We have been running 6 of the new Carryall 500's for almost two years now and the new Subaru engines are great. No issues at all and the fuel savings are as advertised, which is a big bonus for us in the Caribbean with high fuel cost. We just completed an order for our new sister resort, for 6 more Carryall 500's.
