>>1729397Let me give you the first thing that pops into my head when I think of each of these brands. Disclaimer: may not be accurate just my initial pilot's impression having only flown Cessna and Beech products.
Piper - Smol
Cessna - Reliable Shitbox
Beech - Expensive
Mooney - Defunct
Cirrus - Haha CAPS go brrrr
Diamond - Owned by the Chinks
Did most of my flight training on Cessna 172s, which are probably the most basic bitch airplane I can think of, the only thing cheaper is a shitbox 150/152. Flying multi on the Beech Baron was a ton of fun, compared to other GA twins it's a rocket ship. Still flies like a brick though if you lose an engine.
