FWIW, I've heard very good things about Cardinals - though some people don't like them. It seems like getting the 'right one' is important with the 177 - and I don't know what combination that is. Basically, get one with the 180hp engine (later than 1968). They're a tiny bit faster than a 160hp 172 and carry about 16 pounds less. Better access, better visibility, and arguably prettier.

Better access, better visibility, and arguably prettier. Just beware the flaps/wings when its on the ground, it seems to be at eye level for most people, as it sits lower on the ground than a C172... The 177RG is a whole other animal in some respects. Constant speed prop, Cessna retracts, 200+hp on some... Cardinals are very wide (44"), nice for plus sized peoples...
