The HondaJet interior fit, finish, and material quality is well behind a competitive Citation 525 series product or a EMB-500, with poor panel and cabinetry fitment. The cockpit is very tight, with panels and switch gear that are car-like but cheap and likely to be prone to breakage and failure. The view out the front is distorted by the heat elements. Refueling is accomplished via an aft RH fuselage fill port where the filler cap is left to dangle and damage the paint.


Performance will have to be outstanding to make up for an otherwise unimpressive design execution.
