A lot of you would remember the first time you had sex, so by this standard the 150 should be the most memorable aircraft if not the best.
Similar for the Auster. I doubt most could taxi one with a stiff crosswind. Not only did you need the dexterity of a chimpanze to manipulate the flaps, but you needed the touch of a surgeon to land one. If anything taught the difference between seduction and rape, it was the Auster. The Maule may have the performance, but with 28 knots on the dial an Auster could land and take off "anywhere".
Horses for courses.
What you want may not be what you need.
