As far as utility goes, the C182 is unbeatable in
that class. Look at weight, weight & balance issues, short field take

etc. etc.

Two friends of mine got stranded by weather on their way back from Oshkosh
a couple years back. They rented an Expedition to drive home, but couldn't
fit everything in the plane into the SUV.
