I think the Cirrus is the best plane in its class at this time. If I had the
need for that type a plane it would be tops on the list.
I find it hard to believe it wont fly level without the autopilot.

I should clarify: it *will* fly level without the AP (and I said so in
my original post). What I find challenging is trimming out the pitch in
high speed cruise. It won't roll on you, but it sure will climb (or
descend) if you don't watch it like a hawk.

FWIW, I really love my Cirrus (well, it isn't really mine, but I love it
anyway :-) All the grousing about it from people who don't have one
sounds like sour grapes to me.
