Flying a 172 with Autopilot?

Is there any one here flying a 172 using an autopilot?

I think on longer flights (3+ hours) and autopilot would be an advantage,
however there are some in the old school that think it is not necessary.



There's a lot to be said for an autopilot on any any aircraft you fly if you
ever go single pilot IFR. Just being able to "let George do it" while you try
to figure out the entry to an unexpected holding pattern is very useful.

Thank you all for your advice, I was leaning toward an autopilot for safety
too, thx again.
