Hi, the Da40 Tdi seems as good as the reviews. I haven't seen a plane with as good performance, both in altitude and in fuel burn. I have recently completed a long european trip, to italy and back either side of the alps. I have flown the plane now for a good 70 hours or so and easy to get 120kts IAS, stillish air up to 5,000 feet at 5.5 US gallons an hour. The interesting thing was that flying to italy from the UK via Cannes ~ 9 hours flying over 2 days, was cheaper than one way on a BA flight per seat. Awesome aircraft with or without G1000.
