You removed much of the RX8 negative points by saying not to talk about their biggest drawbacks.
People that live at altitude have complained bitterly about the Twins NA performance since day one. I doubt that will change much with the second gen.
^This. You'll lose minimum of 5hp in high altitude. Where I live, I feel like I've lost near 10hp.

Just test drive it and see if it's worth it or not. You prob not able to test drive 2nd gen, but you can def find 1st gen selling around both dealer and private. Either way interior is same, so you get the feel of the interior sizing.
