21. EnduraDrive transaxle w/ internal disc brake technology - An industry first, inspired by the Yamaha ATV. A completely enclosed disc brake system that eliminates brake drums and shoes, needs only one brake cable, and is projected, based on extensive testing, to have an incredibly long life (100 years!!) with essentially no maintenance. For more on braking, see Reason #55

22. 100% greaseless chassis - No other golf car can make this claim. Because Yamaha uses higher quality parts, like sealed bearings, automotive grade tie rods and steering components, our chassis is virtually maintenance free! How much time did you spend on grease jobs last year? Wipe that number off the slate. Greasing golf cars is over.

23. Largest sweater basket in the industry - It's 39% larger than our previous sweater basket, formed of heavy gauge, vinyl coated wire that won't rust or corrode and won't snag sweaters. It's designed to be easily cleaned and won't collect dirt or debris. And it comes with an integrated sand rake holder, standard. Who would have thought a sweater basket could generate so much excitement? Someone who cares about his sweater, that's who!

24. Lighter weight - A lighter car, Yamaha engineers know, is easier to drive, accelerates faster, climbs hills more easily, and stops quickly. So Yamaha designed The Drive accordingly, trimming 4.2% of the weight from our electric car and 20% from the gas car. You can tell the difference when you drive The Drive. Slimmer is better!

25. Built-in transaxle impact protection - The cast-aluminum transaxle case is designed with integrated impact protection. You don't need a skid plate to fend off the hazards that come from underneath. Yamaha's hardened case can take care of itself!

26. New, exciting paint colors - First Yamaha reformulated the paint to give it twice the weatherability and fade resistance. Yamaha then decided on seven lustrous colors, including four brilliant metallic's. We then put on a two-part topcoat using automotive grade polyurethane finish and we then apply it robotically to give it a smooth, automotive grade finish that would be a credit to the finest European sports sedans

27. Easy to remove, durable one piece floor mat - The point was to make it easy to clean. So Yamaha made it one piece, covering the floorboard and footrest area, and its made from rubber to provide cushioned comfort for the occupants

28. Superior quality parts - Yamaha engineers decided early on that to end up with a truly great golf car, you have to begin with great parts. As luck would have it, we work for Yamaha! And Yamaha's parts are held to the industry's most exacting standards and most rigorous quality testing. Put enough superior parts together in exactly the right way, and voila, we have a superior golf car.

29. Factory authorized service - Just because we're setting you up with the most dependable, least maintenance intensive golf car in the business doesn't mean we won't be there for you. We have a network of factory authorized service technicians to make sure your service needs are met.

30. Maintenance free rack and pinion steering - Based on a double ended helical rack-and-pinion design, this is a steering system once found only in high performance sports cars. We revised the steering ratio for a more nimble and responsive feel, put it in a stronger, die cast housing, and made it permanently greased with sealed bearings and no grease fittings on tie rod ends. Easy to drive, and even easier to maintain.
