I noticed the thread is a little old, but I'll still throw in my opinion...
I own a 2006 CTSW. I trained and passed my US PP checkride in it. That said, it's a very, very nice recreational aircraft and a safe but demanding trainer. I have 1200 landings in my logbook and although I've never bent it, I'm still challenged to produce a nice landing on a hot, gusty day.
