    I own a T206H and excited to see the updates… but was completely underwhelmed by these in person at SNF. Everything was hard squeaky plastic, it all just felt really cheap and tacky. The demo had pieces already falling apart. I felt like it was a total miss… beyond the nightmare of a white interior.

    I was hoping to see “Reduced Prices”, “Mogas-Powered”, and “Made in America” on the list of improvements. Those would have gotten my attention and praise.

    I think the new features are fantastic and well pleasing to 21st century pilots. But I must admit, my 1960 172 has been nothing but perfect for me.. I have had it for over 50 years and has never let me down. Granted it is for a 20th pilot, as am I, but we still go places ,”where no man has ever gone before”.
    CESSNA a great flying machine, best ever..

    the seats are beautiful but they are WHITE leather…color transfer from dark colored clothing combined with heat will occur over time!
