I'd pick a Cessna 180/185. It is a great "all-arounder." It can go anywhere, its a good instrument platform, it is reasonably fast, it can carry four, and it ranks high on my "cool" meter. I just wish Cessna would start building them again!

I have to agree that a low-time, late model Mooney is a very attractive choice in the high performance single market right now. Although a few years out of date (panel/avionics), low-time "J" models interest me.

I guess I am too "old school" to ever get behind the idea of a parachute recovery system but at the same time I do appreciate Cirrus' other advances. In particular, I like its fixed landing gear yet fast speed. Now that Mooney, Beechcraft an Commander have faded, the choices for SEL high...
