In a previous thread (could have been as much as a year ago), I
proposed getting a twin as my first airplane. I wanted a Cessna 421,
but wiser and more experienced people talked me out of it. After a
long period of thinking and research, I've decided to get a Cessna
T210. I have some time in type, plus a lot of complex, high
performance and RG time. I would likely get my instrument rating in
the plane I buy.

I've been discussing this at lenght on the CPA forum, but always
welcome more information. Any insights by current and former T210
owners would be helpful.

You should subscribe to Aviation Consumer. they ahve a very detailed
review, including maint info, at aviation-consumer.com, in the
subscribers-only section. I won't violate their copyright but their
subtitle for the review is:

Cessna’s premier single is a wonderful machine when it’s working right.
And that’s the trouble ... it’s sensitive to proper maintenance.
