I agree with others, why buy aircraft for training?

It is better to get your license using rental aircraft, something cheap and simple and later switch/buy to something more sophisticated. If your purchase an airplane which is good for training you may later regret your purchase once you get your license and want something more substantial. Someone suggested a Cessna 182 which is a very good airplane but this is not type of airplane a student pilot should train in.
