GY80 (160 VP) owner. I'm not sure I'd call it a "fast" IFR tourer - even the 180hp version struggles to cruise much beyond 120KTAS. There are some very nice ones out there though (eg one in France with full IFR kit, autopilot, etc etc owned by the boss of a maintenance facility), and it's an aircraft I truly enjoy flying. Main benefits are the way it can get out of a short strip with all seats full, or get airborne in under 200m alone with full tanks. The handling qualities are in general very good, although the rudder is undersized and this can lead to some excitement in stalls until you get used to it. Maintenance is in general simple (standard Lycoming engines, for example) unless you run into some of the "French" issues with it - finding a decent engineer with experience on type is well worth it. A PA28-180 is probably overall a better aircraft, but I know which one I'd rather fly for versatility...
