    Garia Golf Cart Review

    With its headquarters based in the lustrous pastures of Denmark, Garia has been in the Golf Cart Market for over a decade now. And as Garia would say, they are in the “golf car market” versus the golf cart market. That distinction is immediately known when an initial observer takes a look at a Garia vehicle. It almost contains the disposition of a vehicle designed for the future as it drives quietly with thoughtfully created design lines and quality components.

    Garia started in 2005 and is a privately held company that uses some of the best European Components to create a vehicle with luxury, quality, and passion. The Garia Golf was designed for, you guessed it: Golf. It is not your standard golf cart however. With a slew of extra features, the Garia Golf includes an integrated cooler with additional storage options. For example, the front hood (or bonnet depending on where you’re from) opens up for a place for covered storage. This is very rare to find on vehicles. In addition, an overlooked feature is its golf bag holder design. It allows your bags to sit at a 45 degree. This allows for an easy visual to locate your club and makes it tremendously easier to remove your club from the bag. This is especially important for those with shoulder issues.

    Of note is to highlight that the Garia Golf is using an auto brake which means it will set automatically. There is no need for setting the brake every time you stop. It uses an electro magnetic parking brake to hold the vehicle in place.

    If features isn’t enough for you, then the sleek design and thoughtfully selected components will surely stand out. From a sport leather steering wheel to futuristic dash cluster, the entire design of the Garia was designed to be appealing visually while functional. The seats are seamless and the entire roof drains water through a simple roof drain to avoid getting you wet.

    The suspension system is made out of aluminum which is beneficial for a low weight and rust proof frame for those in coastal regions. It is also a sport suspension system which allows for a responsive drive but also has enough suspension to make it comfortable still. On the safety side, it has hydraulic brakes which is nice for quick and easy stopping.

    Now, this is a spendy unit, however the performance package for the motor and controller does not seem to display this. With an 3 Kw AC motor and a 275 Amp controller, the Garia Golf will perform, but not leaps and bound over other manufacturers in this space. On the other hand, it does include the option to upgrade to lithium ion batteries from Samsung SDI which means you’ll no longer be worrying about watering your batteries consistently and won’t worry about replacing them every 3-6 years depending on where you live.

    Overall, we like the Garia, however you have to be the one to decide if you think the value is worth the price.

    Sleek but not worth the price
    Sleek design but absolutely not worth the price. Dealer network is sparse and support is terrible You’re paying for a Rolls Royce but getting bottom of the barrel support whenever you need something. Would not purchase again. Plenty of US manufactured alternatives. Wish I had done more research instead of relying solely on neighbor’s opinion.

    Garia service worst ever experienced
    I need a part, contacted a local dealer and garia spare parts in the USA. No result, so contacted Garia HQ in Denmark, who pushed me back to the USA, so no success. DON'T BUY GARIA, SINCE THEY LACK A SERVICE ORGANIZATION AND THEIR PRODUCTS ARE FRAGILE. A shame since the basic model costs 36,000 USD.

    Most Frustrating…
    Besides all if the issues pointed out by Sonya Farling above that miss key items all golfers want and need in a golf cart, I have one to add that drives us crazy.
    The charging plug.
    It is very difficult to see due to the location under the steering wheel. You need both hands as it’s got a cover that must be held open while you try to line it up. Instead of the plug being a straight angle into the cart, it’s at two challenging angles that make it difficult to insert. It’s almost as if the designer tried to develop the most difficult place to locate it, then added a cap to require both hands, then came up with not one but two angles to maneuver if your lucky enough to insert it with a few tries.
    I contacted the company, and their answer was to kick the ball to their dealers if you want any ideas to end the plug frustration. Have each of their dealers deal with the flaws individually. Really?
    If you happen to be thinking of buying one, try to plug it in first. And remember when you do, it will not get any easier when you’re home. And all the issues in previous reviews are true.
    And Caleb if you’re reading this…..you should come up with solutions to the multiple problems mentioned in your reviews and listen to your customers as opposed to deflecting them to your dealers and not accepting responsibility. That’s not how a respected company operates.

    Excellent
    Bought a 2+2 loaded, black package, refrigerator, sound system. It drives like a sports car in our small community in coastal CA. Stands out from the “golf carts.” Spendy but happy with the purchase.

    4/4/22: Looks futuristic. Shiny. Golfwise: Performance/Reliability/Safety - The tires spin if on a rise on a dry fairway (not accelerating fast).
    Speed limit is 25 after you put it in street mode. 15mph on golf course. Does not have WiFi. Does have Bluetooth.
    Comfort - Be careful getting into the the cart, it is lower than the usual golf cart. The ride is better than usual golf cart. NO sand bottle holder, Can't hold the golf scorecard (flimsy), Beverage holders aren't deep enough and the drink will fly out, The recess below the dash to hold items needs fixed to hold items inside so that when you do make it up an incline your items will not fall out.
    And remember this has no metal within reach, rangefinder will have to be placed in the recess or take up the beverage holder.
    The rep is informing those above what I have said. Don't know if they will fix these issues.... I've already paid for it.
    Value - Definitely could buy a Model 3 ALL decked out and possibly Model S for the price paid. Hoping they will take care of this cart.

    If they fix these issues I will inform you.

    Decent Golf Carts, Terrible Customer Service
    Office Manager was rude and hung up the phone. I would definitely advise talking to someone else at the company if you want one of their golf carts that bad. In my opinion, not worth the poor attitude. There are plenty of options with better customer service.

    I paid a pretty penny for my Garia Golf a year ago, and I absolutely love it! If you don't mind the hefty price tag, then you'll enjoy it. I had a couple issues with the gauges, but thankfully my dealer took care of it.
