Pros:

It's fast
It's quiet (inside that is)
Has some funky cabin and flight desk features
It's low maintenance, reports of solid reliability
Fuel efficient

Cons:

It's expensive to buy
It's difficult to crew - so few around therefore very few rated pilots
No flight sim in Europe
Very limited choice for support - but support standards are at least high
Poor landing performance - needs long runway, especially in wet
It's a 'Marmite' aircraft - most either love the look or hate it - when you resell, it reduces the marketability massively
Phenom or CJ/M2 alternatives just represent better all round value (that's the consensus, considered opinion)
You can only have the one Honda paint scheme from the factory - no bespoke designs - have to paint again if you want anything different
