1.The owners are stupid 2.The owners are stupid 3.The owners are stupid 4.The owners are so stupid they are borderline shortbus.
I swear to god. I see all these people talking about how unreliable it is. Ever work on an old car? Yeah. A rotary is like everything else, it’s just as reliable as its owner. If you are stupid, it’ll die. They’re great engines if they work.. but they won’t because previous owners think its no different from a piston engine. TL;DR, it’s all because there are too many stupid people in this world.
the cars you compared it to are naturally aspirated. when you add a turbo to a rotary well, magic will happen.
no braapp braaap braaap :((
So…. it’s not efficient. Rotaries are super fun to drive with and that’s what they’re made to do. Nobody buys a rotary to do shopping with and Mazda knows that too. It’s bacially a hobby on wheels and in my opinion there is no other type of engine that compromises less in driving fun than a rotary engine. Light weight, power high up in the RPM’s and awesome weight distribution. If you ask me that sounds way better than a fuel efficient sports car.
But hey… I’ve owned 3 so I might not be completely neutral on this subject.
mazda rx9 rotary car will be in poduction
What’s funny to me is the fact that many people talk how piston engines have lower emissions, better fuel economy, than rotary, but no one takes into consideration the fact that Wankel received first patent for the rotary only in 1929 and development began only in 1950’s. While piston engines been around since the end of XIX century. So rotary came a lot latter and not many companies wanted to develop it. If it would be used as much as piston engine is, no one knows how it would end up.
Don’t care still goes braaappp
Modern cars are too big and heavy to bother fitting a compact engine.
But brapapapagon …..
I don’t care about new cars anyways, let’s stick to what we have.

Why the rotary died:
