I've had mine since 2006. Across that time, it has averaged about $10,000/year including all fixed & operating costs. Hangar rent is almost half the total costs.
At 2.5gph on Av fuel or unleaded premium, my cost per hour is minimal. Two seats lets me take someone for a ride & helps with BFR.
I've appreciated the variety in one aircraft. If there's lift, shut off the engine and fly for free. (OK...nothing's really free in aviation.) Canopies give you greater efficiency. Have flown it from WA state to Ohio & back. On a nice warm day, replace the enclosed canopies with open cockpit, put on your leather flying helmet & goggles and channel your Walter Mitty.
