Footman... the rotary egine is remarkably reliable. My rx7 has over 250,000km on the original engine. As long as you do the basic maintenance on it and give it the boot every now and again you should be good. The more you tinker with it... the more likely you are to have something go wrong.

hehe, I think no one dares of saying in the driving style range "grandma-like"... out of fears being labeled...

^ Haha, I said "gentle/moderate"... one step up from Granny. Although I was out for one track day at Shannonville... In daily driving situations though I usually don't accelerate hard or anything like that, though I do take corners fast enough that my passengers tell me to slow down. I assume everyone has heard that before. I have also gone on a few spirited drives through the bumpy back roads in Quebec north of Ottawa. I'm surprised my suspension still works.

Just for comparison and to try and get a feel for how everyone defines their driving style.

Phil's a total granny. I can vouch for that. Just last week he knit me a sweater.

Oh hi Phil.

Oil change was done every 5,000km. Car was bought new in 2005. USed to store in the winter...last winter was the first one that it was driven in!
