So is the Katana with the Continental. It will blow right past a 172 in climb performance.

Initially the 172 was not designed as a training aircraft. The 152 was. Since the 152 isn't made anymore Cessna has attatched that designation to the 172.

The 172 is preffered by many as a training aircraft over the 172, and it's docile handling characteristics make it a good candidate.

But it was not built to fill that niche.
