Cessna 152 or 172?

[Ian_Wannabe]

Hi, . . I'm just wondering which aircraft would be better to train on for getting a PPL. A Cessna 172 or a Cessna 152?

I'm thinking about this along the lines of "when I pass and I want to fly weekly, the Cessna 152 will be cheaper to fly"

Is this true? Is the 152 a cheaper aircraft to fly after the training stage when I fly alone, fuel etc?

Thanks in advance

Ian
