I did my training in a 152, had an hour in a PA-28 and now fly a Koliber - which is a low wing. The Koliber is the best of the three, but as you've all realised by now - I'm biased!!

The 152 always felt 'trembly', as though every light gust was affecting it, whereas the PA-28 felt a lot more stable & steady. The downward view from the Cessna was better than the PA-28, but the upward view is but in the PA-28. Cessna has two doors, PA-28 on has one. (Koliber has sliding bubble canopy so scores on both points).

So its swings and roundabouts, but if you are happy with the group, the condition of the aircraft, its location and the price - go for it. I did and it was the best thing I could have done.
