I never said a word about performance gents, I'll chose a warrior III any day before Tecnam or Cessna, I was talking about flying a brand new aircraft with glass cockpit and and all the ease it comes with it as in comms and navigation, to a 15-20 year old plane that is falling apart, with one radio and and one VOR.
Don't get me wrong I didn't do my training in such plane.
I flew PA28, C150 and C172 until my 120hrs total, with basic instruments, no GPS, no fancy stuff,and I'm my opinion it is good to start ones training this way to learn proper navigation and not rely on GPS and commodities.
I also have to add that it comes very handy while hour building have a glass cockpit to be able to practice instrument approaches before your IR.
