I learned in a PA28,I found it had all I required for learning and a lot more equipment than in what I fly now.
PA28's are quite roomy and the 180's have adequate power for tight turns etc.
Just been up today for 90 mins bimble around Norfolk and Suffolk in the Cub,absolutely lovely day.
We all fly for different reasons,none of which in my opinion are better than the other.
