Im a newbie , im seeking info on the reliablilty of the rotary design. im interested in purchasing my neighbors 93 touring edition rx7. My plans are to drive it daily to school and work. about 200 miles a week.
will this be as reliable as say...a honda civic? |
is this some sort of a set up for a joke? not funny
|
I beat on my old 12a-powered RX-2 for years and it never gave a bit of trouble, so yes, the rotary design is very reliable. Would I use any 14 year old high-performance sports car for a daily driver? Probably not.
|
Simple answer. OH GOD NO!

about the only time you can count on it starting EVERY TIME, and running perfect EVERY TIME, is to rebuild it...
|
...every weekend!!!
|
if the engine is healthy and proper maintenance is done theres always that slight chance of it going poop. specially when trying to impress friends.
