Fun to fly.
Slow.
No real handling vices.
Noisy.
Very reliable engine.
High fuel consumption.

In general a very reliable aircraft, BUT to achieve this reliability requires a lot of daily maintenance (greasing etc.) AND an engineer with lots of experience on type. There's a lot to know that isn't spelled out in the maintenance manuals.

And yes, parts are harder and harder to come by and expensive.
