To,All that say that rotaries dont last long enough. A Rx-8 is a vehicle that not everyone can take care of.You need to treat it like your own baby.You need periodic oil changes.You should change the air,oil,fuel filters according to the specific time given.As,far as the fuel consumption is concerned it will give you max 7km/l being a rotary and all.The life of a rotary engine is everlasting like all vehicles but not here in Pakistan,due to the different chemicals mixed in petrol,Unbuild roads etc etc.And most important of ALL no proper maintance of vehicles this is what leadings rotaries being failed in Pakistan.
