From my understanding, Cirrus planes have a bad fit and finish. Will they build a good product or will it be a faliure to the jet market (jets are known to be built good).
Do you know anything about aviation? And itâs well, not good.
you can use good if preceeded by ârealâ
like " That plane sure flies real good"
Them Cirrus aint bad but, there pilots is.
Thatâs âMaterâ like âtuh-materâ only without the âtuhâ
(If you donât have kids who subject you to the latest movies this one will pass you by.) 
Careful guys, we all make mistakes. There is some old wisdom about judging others.
Back to the subjectâŚ
Cirrus did not have the best fit and finish for the first few years of production, but the G2 models are thought to be much improved.
Personally, I am not a fan of much of their interior plastic pieces and donât believe they age well. There are parts on some of the Navajoâs that you would have expected not to be on a cabin class twin, so I suspect that Cirrus may have the same problem that Piper did. Piper still canât put a decent glare shield on their $2 million Meridian, so go figure.
Telling someone they donât know anything about aviation isnât judging. Saying theyâre a bad person because of it is.
anywaysâŚ
iâve taken a ride in an sr22, and I have to say that I wasnât totally impressed with the seats and all. I love the displays and the glass cockpit, but it just feels weirdâŚnever mind how it looks
We put 421 hours on our G2 the first year. We have zero fit and finish problems. On the other hand, it has been nearly perfect in that area. 
Please come back when the plane has at least 5 years and over 1000 hours on it. It had better be zero problems at this point!
Iâm flying G2s as part of my CSEL and I think the fit and finish on our G2s seems fine. Most of our (my flight schoolâs) G2s have 700-800 hours on them. The back seats are not overly comfortable from what I remember however (only been in the back seat once iirc) - I seem to remember it forcing me to hunch over some.
It seems to me that most people I spoke to found the Cirrus very comfortable overall, but I also found the seats, front and back, not very comfortable. I think it is because I am long legged.
I believe the feeling of comfort comes mostly from the shape of the cockpit, and the ease of entry and exit. Also, from the large windows.
Why do you have Mooney in your name?
Mooneys are pretty comfy for tall people. Especially tall skinny people.
I have a Mooney Ovation, and when I joined flightaware I was living in Canada.
I also used to represent Mooney, Diamond, and Piper through contracts with dealers.
I am also tall and skinny, and find my Mooney VERY comfy!
I sat in a G3 in Friedrichshafen, my first time in a cirrus. Togheter with the first hull of the Diamond D50 this was one of the biggest disapointments considering finishing, those planes donât feel right, they feel cheap, like made in china (now i understand why diamond is making a factory in china)
i sat in the mooney and getting in was easy since itâs very low on the ground and i sat very comfortable⌠the mooney felt like a ârealâ plane (whatever that isâŚ)
Now that we have gotten completely off topicâŚ
Diamond built a factory in China to build planes for the Asian market, and to build a 100 HP engine to replace the rotax as their base engine (I havenât heard any progress on this project and it may have died). They have very good build quality at Diamond, so I think either the prototype wasnât a great example or you just donât get a warm fuzzy from composites (they just donât feel the same, itâs weird). Also, their quality is not all about luxury, but consistency and durability.
I believe they saw a big market in China, and have experienced currency exchange problems that also made it look attractive.

I love when they fill a page with words while saying absolutely nothing!
The âTower Transcriptâ is entertaining.
