2004 Standard 53,000km on it. Something like 30,000 miles?
Never had a single issue, first time in the shop for something other then TSB's, oil changes etc. U get the picture!

After the dealers replacing;
Motor Mounts
Cat Converter
O2 sensor

Then;

Wires
Coils
Spark Plugs
---- Which I ended up paying for those items as their no longer warranty

This did not fix the problem so they installed

Complete Intake System

After it not working they concluded it needs a new engine!

yeah... so I basically will have a new car now.
But it sucks because I would MUCH rather have a reliable car then a sports car I can't put 50,000km on.

Honestly;
as much as I love this car... I don't think I'd buy one again.
Maybe if they slapped a v6 in it. I know we all love our rotaries because its different, but realistically, the piston engine may have more moving parts that wear and break down, but its more realiable, cheaper to maintain, better on gas, and this car could use another 100ft/lbs of torque!
