It's a very people-friendly civilised aircraft. None of this daft climbing in through one door which is on the wrong side of the cockpit anyway, damaging all the seats as one climbs over the back of them, etc.
The performance is about the same as other fixed gear planes of that HP and weight and cockpit cross-sectional area. The Vs is a bit higher than some of the PA28 family which means you need a longer runway, but it cruises faster (for the same fuel flow) than those types as a result. No free lunch
