I only have a few hours in a 23, but it was enough to give me a good idea about the airplane.
The best description is that it's a "cabin class Cherokee." It's big, comfortable, and built like a tank. They are a bit slow. The one I flew was based on a 2200' grass runway, 2700' the other direction. 2200' was not a good choice unless you were light. Once, I had three people and half tanks, warm day and the 2700' well mowed runway made me very nervous. Landing on anything over 1500' is no problem.
Problems areas are the (brass?) bushing for the nose landing gear that get worn with steering. I believe they are made of unobtanium. MLG strut pucks are expensive to change from what I remember. The wing is a bonded wing, and difficult or expensive to fix. Seems like fuel drains were expensive and odd.
I never joined, but from what I understand, there is tons of information here:

I still have a hand full of parts left from the one that I flew and parted out after the owner had an accident with it...
