The essential answer
Weigh flexibility, walking distances, access to pedestrian areas and how much of Rome you want to cover. Walking tours let you linger inside narrow streets and pedestrian squares; golf cart tours help bridge longer distances between districts without relying entirely on long walks.
What you will experience
The important difference is not that one reaches every site and the other does not. Vehicle restrictions in Rome mean some famous squares still require a short walk.

OpenStreetMap ↗Practical planning advice
Choose a walking tour if close inspection of a compact neighbourhood is your priority. Consider a golf cart if you want a wider spread of landmarks, have limited time or prefer seated transfers. A combined approach—cart between districts and short walks at highlights—can work particularly well.
