 what????? 
 Those were obviously not taken care of!!
 Consider that the "standard maintance" for a rotarty is much much less then
a
 recip. piston engine!
 (no valves to adj, no timing belt, no cams, etc)
 If you spend the nominal maintance fees they are trouble free! >>

I do have to agree here.  I know about four guys that have a second
generation RX7 with well over 100,000 miles on the clock.  They are still
running strong.  But, to be honest, the motor, on all of the cars, is
outlasting everything else on the car.  Every one of those guys has has
electrical nightmares with them!  One guy even has a new wiring harness!
 But, must admit, damn things handle great, though.  (but I would not get
one.  I hate flip up headlights...)
