In theory the rotary is great. And it did so well in racing that it had to be banned. You can squeeze a ton of power out of a small displacement and there are very few moving parts to fail.

But in reality no one wants race car like maintenance on their street car. especially when no one cares about displacement or horsepower/liter.

My buddy has one and its a mint car. big turbo putting down 600whp and it weighs like 2700 pounds. Not bad for a 1.3 Liter car. But its always sitting on jack stands. I think he pulls the engine out once a year too. mixes oil with the gasoline to maintain lubrication in the motor. can't run it if its too hot or too cold outside.
