Based on having only flown one once I'd say you've made a good choice; nice handling, excellent visibility, reasonable performance and very economical.

The only thing which spoilt the one I flew was a cr*ppy throttle friction control which either allowed the throttle to slip, or locked it up so tight that smooth operation was impossible. Pop down to your nearest Cessna breaker's yard for a proper one and you'll have a perfect little tourer!

I flew to Ireland in formation with this one last year:
