About Aviation Consumer:

In a recent reprint available he

They recommend the Twin Commanche (aka "twinkie") as an "affordable" twin.
You can subscribe to AvConsumer to get web access to their reviews of other
twins. I used this site fairly extensively when I was looking for my first
plane (not a twin though).

cheers,

Aviation Consumer maintains a web site that can be helpful. You might also
check out the book, "The Illustrated Buyer's Guide to Used Airplanes" by
Bill Clarke.

All twins are very high maintenance cost. They are all complex aircraft
and
they all have two of everything.

I personally like the Baron, the Aztec and the Seneca, and most of the
Cessna twins, including the Skymaster.
