The best thing about the C177 are the ailerons. It is a very snappy bird
in roll. The all flying stab sucks, I hated landing mine. Depending on
how tall you were you may or may not like the fact it is lower to the
ground. I'm 6'1" and it was way too low for me. The other major
downside for me was the interior height. I was always banging my head
on the overhead. The seat was as low as it would go.

I read in another thread "Comfortable 4-seaters" in r.a.o that the 177 has a
48" cabin. Considering that operating costs for the 177FG are in the range
of the 172, (39" cabin) but better or equal speeds, that can be a pretty
compelling feature especially for those of us who are not FAA-sized.
