Why the Piper PA-28 Dakota is Extremely Well Designed

Big-engined singles, exemplified in this segment include the Cessna 182, 185 and the Maule. The 185 and the Mule are more in the line of working bush-planes, however. The 182 and the Piper entry are more mainstream in their design. The 182 has been, by any measure, a success. It features a good combination of utility, roominess and performance. The Piper entry, however, never quite matched the 182 in terms of popularity. Nevertheless, it has a lot going for it: decent performance, simplicity, and common, proven components. If your needs include a big dose of horsepower coupled to a simple airframe, the Dakota is certainly a valid candidate.
