This forum has an excellent search engine; you should try it sometime . I did a search on "rotary" and "piston" and found the following on the first page of results:

Here's all the comparison you need (from Mazda's 1970's era TV commercial jingle):

"Other cars go boing bump bang boom boing boing boing, but a Mazda goes HMMMMMMMMM"

Of course I like:

Piston engines: Suck

Rotary engines: ROCK.
