Default If money wasn’t an object, DS or Precedent and Why?

It seems like DS owners make up the vast majority here, but I’m curious if that is due to the DS being usually less expensive used and you can mod the controllers etc. even easier.
Just curious if the initial outlay of cash is why they are more popular or if there may be different reasonings behind them being the majority here.

My dad has a precedent and I have a DS. I don’t like all of the plastic on the precedents, the DS seems to have a little more passenger room also.

Me too. Nothing wrong with the Precedent, but the DS feels more "solid" and comfortable for me.

I like my Precedent, no particular real reason I just like the style of it.

DS. THICK aluminum [frame] and fiberglass, both long lasting and repairable almost no friggin plastic! Greasable front suspension and steering lasts almost forever.

I'm going to guess it might be just a case of more DS's in the wild. DS production started in 1980 and stopped somewhere around 2012 -2014 I think.
Precedent production started in 2004.

That’s true too.

As for the “solid” feeling of the DS, I’ve never felt like the Precedent was going to break under any circumstances fwiw. That said there is a lot of plastic on the Precedent. Not that it effects performance other than being lighter than a DS.

I defiantly like either over my buddies ezgo. I like being able to remove the body without drilling out 50 rivets.
