I like the Cirrus, the way it flies, it's performance and it's modernness.
Word of advice if buying a new one - Always get references before buying an aircraft from an aircraft importer. PM for further info if required on that one.
You MUST hangar it or have a suitable cover on it. The plastic interior does not go well in the outdoors over a long period. The dash will fall apart and the whole thing will start to look very un-tidy by 1,000 hours.
Apart from that, fun to fly, easy to fly and if you like to pretend you are flying an airliner, then it's great for what you want. The geek's trick is to try and come as close as you can to landing it without touching the controls.
Con's:
If you don't manage the engine properly with fuel, you'll be up for a lot of cash in a very short space of time. Don't trust the engine management figures on the screens; you are better off going by fuel flow for safety.
Doesn't stand up well to punishment and a harsh sun. Plastics buckle and windows go cloudy.
Dash top can't handle being pulled out for servicing, by 1,000+ hours it will barely be hanging on.
Seats don't stand up to large passengers, the bottom falls out of them.
The leather inserts in the seats don't appear to be proper leather.
Desperately needs a rudder trim and doesn't have one.
Door handles on the older models are a p-rick and won't last (the newer push-button ones are better).
Centre console hinges are crap.
The SR20 has bugger-all payload - may as well buy a Jabiru. Pretty much can't practically put 4 people in it.
People keep touching and scratching the Avidyne nav screens. Not really a con but might be annoying if you're buying second hand. They are NOT touchscreen's people!!!
Can be a bit tricky for first-timers as you can't flare it or you'll hit the tail on the ground.
Models frequently change. A turbo normalised version came out, next thing a full turbo is released and many current owners were p-i-s-s-e-d.
The SR22 is a thirsty bugger.
Pro's -
TAS in the SR20 around 143-148 up top. Fuel burn about 11.2gph.
TAS in the SR22 as stated in earlier post.
Nice to fly, a little heavy in the controls at low speed, but otherwise good.
Autopilot is easy to use and virtually flies itself (need some manual rudder - refer to comments above on rudder trim).
Great for 195 knot beatups of your local airfield (SR20 or 22)
SR22 has power to burn, high climb rate and short takeoff ~400 metres asl.
Fun to fly and not complex to learn it - lands very flat, no flare required.
