Price - 7/10 One of the most expensive carts you can buy, but you definitely get what you pay for. It has the best features and is built better than any
                    other cart I have seen on the links. It's like the difference between a Mercedes and Honda Accord. Sure the Accord is very nice, but the
                    Mercedes is just that much better! (That's just a hypothetical comparison, I own a Honda and would never actually buy a Mercedes)
EaseOfUse - 10/10 Folds very easily into a nice small package. Easy to unfold too. Accessories attach and can be changed very easily.
Durability - 10/10 Very well built with heavy duty square aluminum tubing and steel hinges. Seems to be powder coated because the paint doesn't seem to chip.
Performance - 10/10 Rolls very well, has many extra accessories that attach and detach very easily. Insulated zipper pouch easily fits a 6-pack.
                                  Umbrella holder is well designed. Seat is well designed and easy to use, which I use a lot! Brakes are way more powerful than
                                  necessary which is a great thing because some other carts I've used have rolled down the side of the fairway after I set the
                                  brake damaging some of my clubs...when you set this brake you know it's not going anywhere! Cup holder works very well
                                  compared to last year's model and scorecard holder is well designed to hold cards and still be easy to write on, great for those
                                  of you with achy joints!
Overall Value - 9/10 The only reason I can't give this a 10/10 is because it cost $180 which is about $60 more than some other very nice carts that
                                  just aren't designed quite as well or aren't as durable.

I just got this cart and have only used it for 4 rounds so far on 3 fairly flat courses and 1 course with a lot of hills. Besides a real electric golf cart, this cart made golf as effortless as possible and I was finally not tired after playing 18 holes so I played another 18 two of those days!

The way I justify the price of this golf cart is as follows:
           Every time I golf, which is almost every day, I pay about $15-$25 for a golf cart. Lets just say it is a $20 average. In 2 weeks from now I will
           have played about 11 times which would have cost me $20 x 11 days = $220. That is how much this V1 Speed Cart cost me after tax
           including all the extra accessories like the seat, umbrella, and insulated 6-pack holder. It just paid for itself in only 2 weeks! Now I look at 1
          year from now having played about 320 times x $20 = $6400 savings! That is how much a full size electric golf cart costs! Hmm...now that I
          look at it that way I think I will consider investing in a real electric golf cart and trailer!
