I noticed the second one was a Malibu. Are the early models still prone to
engine failures or has the problem been all AD'd away? Or was the engine
switch and corresponding Mirage name addition the only workaround?

Dunno. The impression I have is that PA-46 engines are still temperamental
beasts. Perhaps someone can post some solid data.

I don't like PA-46s because it's such a long way from the pilot's seat to the
exit if you have to get out in a hurry. Maybe I'm too used to quick-exit
Cessnas, but I get claustrophobic in a Malibu.
