Cirrus Turbo vs Mooney Acclaim vs Columbia 400

I really wasn’t trying to turn this into another one of these debates. I really like the Columbia airplanes and I want them to be successful. However, when you make 600k investement, you want to find other happy customers. In my 2 years of Cirrus ownership and COPA membership, I’ve had only positive experiences with Cirrus and the other owners. Most Cirrus owners I’ve met are on their 2nd or 3rd plane and to me, customer loyaylty means more then any marketing or statistics.

I think Columbia has a real winner of an airplane. But alot of great products have failed over the years because of crappy management.
