It is a bit of a case of wanted two opposite things. The turbo C210 is looking like the best bet. Anyone happen to have cruise TAS for a turbo C182RG. It might just be fast enough? He'll be a brand new PPL so not sure a twin is a good option. At least not yet. And he hasn't mentioned twins anyway. Maybe a C337 would work? A later one, esp. if turbo'd.
