The 2.4L will be a better fit for Denver than the 2L 1Gen. More grunt from the get-go.
It won't wind up like the rotary, but it will have much better low rpm cruising power.
I'm sure someone will stuff turbos in it, but it will take extensive plumbing, wiring and CPU changes to make that happen.
More than I'd be comfortable with for a dealer serviceable daily driver.
The back seat access is a problem.
The front seats don't go back to where they came from with memory gizmos and extra hardware, so you might want to set visual markings on the body and seats.
Stowing a child back there twice a day or more may be the most problematic part.
The car itself is "
simply joyful", so there's that as well.
I prefer less weight to creature-features than many people are willing to deal with.
I had an Alfa GTV2000 back in the 80's for seven years, and the twins are the first new vehicle that comes close to it.
I liked everything about the GTV except the extremely strong clutch action. The twins fixed that just right.
