The one door on a PA28 rules it out for me on safety grounds. But I prefer a low wing to the high wing Cessna which has two doors. The Tomahawk is cheap and has great visibility but (IMHO) is built down to a cost - and that high elevator (out of prop slipstream) means it's authority on landing is limited so speed control is more critical - and arguably teaches you to be a better pilot.
