I had a friend who was about your height--don't know what his weight. He could fly a 172, but not in turbulence, as his head would hit the roof. He also had to make his right seat passenger move during crosswind landings so he could slide his kness to the side and get the movement from the yoke. He did better in a warrior & arrow. But they are harder to get in and out of. He and I sat down in a cirrus together (i'm 5'2") and we were both perfectly comfortable! Not so hard to get in and out of. There are more and more schools offering the cirrus for instruction, but the price will be higher.
The 150/152 is definately not the aircraft for you. People like the price, but it is not a very flexible aircraft for practical purposes for many, many people. I've seen a lot of people purchase one only to get stuck trying to sell the thing (getting harder and harder to sell, now) because they found out it just wasn't practical for them.
