I hate 'em (and yes I've done years instructing in both).

No aerobatic capability of course, they can't maintain a proper max rate turn even at 60 deg bank let alone the 72 - 73 you'll get out of a 152, they're a good few knots slower on x - country, the spring loaded controls are bloody awful, the seating position is far too upright, they always look scruffy because the interior plastic work is even worse quality than Cessna's (and that's saying something!) and the overall impression is just of a poorly put together, poorly balanced creaky tin can that has had costs cut out of it at every opportunity.
