Odai, you look to have decided what you want to fly and anyone disagreeing with that, well.

You have stated you are a new PPL holder. the Cirrus is all and good, but it is set up for the tourer,
The one you are interested in has flight directors, glass flight deck with full GPS. Do you really expect us to believe you are going to practice VOR and ADF flying in somthing so simple.
I looked at that aircraft for touring and decided against it.
I will not post my reasons on here.
Part of the fun of flying is just that, the joy of looking outside and mastering your skill. If you want to fly the Magenta line, then so be it, you will be doing it most of your career anyway.

You are a PPL VFR Pilot, this means you should be looking outside more than the guages, instrument flying comes later.
I would look elsewhere, there are better ways to get hours, and take it from someone who has been there, it willnot make a jot of difference what your flying when your CV lands on the HR office desk.
