C-152 power-on often has a wing-drop. Power-off clean it will just oscillate as the nose barely drops and it immediately recovers with the yoke held full aft. This type of "designed-in safety" doesn't help to teach what a plane handles like in a full stall, although it does keep most everyone alive...at least until they get a license and move to another aircraft.
I guess you're right, the C-152 and Warrior are both old. But, the only modern GA trainers besides the Diamonds are the LSA type aircraft. Our Van's RV-12 is great for teaching stalls, far better than the C-152/Warrior.
