what to rent

Dear fellow flying folk

I am looking to join a flying club and checking my options on what aircraft to get rated on, I have 50 hours on a da42, 100 hours on da40 and 50 hours on pa28 but here lies the rub, I want to fly with friends most of the time 4 up so we're talking 320kg ish give or take a few pies so that's the da40 out as its good for about 230kg and i remember the pa28 struggling with 3 up. The da42 is awesome but £280 per hour for fun flying is just not in my pocket.

So the question, can anyone recommend and affordable a/c i can rent that can handle 4 people? im thinking maybe a 172 but im not that familiar with cessna's

Thanks for your time picky

oh! nearly forgot i have atpl/ir/and current multi engine cpl so good to fly most a/c
