To make my flying cheaper I've decided to invest in an example of the newest member of the Cessna family, the 162 SkyCatcher. Priced at US$112k it's fairly cheap for a brand-spankin design, and seeing as I won Lotto last night I thought, 'why not?'.

This seems to be the only FS model of the 162 available at the moment, an FS9 AI model - but including a VC and 2D panel - by Chris Eve, "cessna_skycatcher.zip" at AvSim.
By the way, based on Cessna's website, if I were to buy a 162 the colour scheme would look more like this:
