Difference between Agile, Fast and Beginner cart
This is for those who don't like to buy before you try. I started with the fast cart and used the beginner as the control, obviously. I raced the two carts between the three light poles, in front of the beginner plot, that start from the beginner store and go towards the big town, it was only about 1.5 seconds faster (the third post was the one that ends right before the area in the road that kinda looks like a roundabout). Now in my opinion, this is not much faster at all especially for the price, it should be at least 4 or 5 seconds faster or you should be allowed to run with it, if this was real life i would feel ripped off and would demand compensation.
Next I tried the agile, this cart lives up to its name, it turns fast on a dime and jumps slightly higher than the other two carts. Now which cart to buy not sure, currently the agile is worth the asking price, but not the fast (unless you just really like the color red) if the fast is ever altered to be faster in some way, i would recommend it. But if you are like me, i like to loot so i like storage and I like variety and collecting things so i bought both.
Hope this helps.

Also worth mentioning.
If you run with lowered fps (for example you loaded way too much stuff on cart) your turn rate will be greatly reduced cause it seems tied to your framerate to the point where Agile won't matter the lower the fps.

So something to keep in mind if your machine has trouble with big hauls.

thanks for that, I havent retested my findings since several updates ago.

I'm not sure what the case was in 2021, but as of the time of this writing, the agile cart does NOT, in fact, have a better turning rate than the fast cart. It has a tighter turning radius, but only because it's slower. Both agile and fast carts take exactly 8 seconds to fully turn 360 degrees, so you might as well just get the one that goes faster and slow down for sharp turns.

good thing I never used the word best or better or any descriptive terms similar to those words. Those words would be opinions and I clearly stated my opinions as related to value, but never saying one was better than another.

Its wasnt about the money. I just didnt want to have extra carts (that i cant delete) in my world so i didnt buy them. But i did a "test drive" right there in the cart shop. And they all felt the same to me in terms of turning. All turtle level slow. Even the agile one. Is it because i didnt buy it?

Also this is so borderline stupid. This whole cart concept. It has 2 wheels for a reason irl, it was designed like that to be able to turn very quickly regardless of cargo weight. And it has survived the test of time from stone age to this very day, thanks to those particular properties. Yet ingame, somehow, turning a cart its the slowest thing in existence, as if it has no wheels at all. Go figure.

there is no room to allow acceleration in the cart shop. plus commenting in two different profiles is sus.

Was only talking about turning. It feels the same for all carts now. Maybe it got changed like that recently. Because i remember carts turning just fine before 2.0
