[QUOTE="pwhyze, post: 1064018176, member: 112269"] I never implied you said rotaries are not reliable. I was trying to show the real definition of reliability. Like I said, just because it needs more regular maintenance, doesn't mean it's not reliable. If it was designed to last 30k km, at that's how long it actually last, then it has fulfill it's expected operation period. Therefore it's reliable. Now, if 30k km is woefully short compared to a normal engine's 100k km, then it's more a question of fundamental design deficiency instead of reliability. I'm not saying that rotaries have shorter life cycle, just that they need more 'care'. So why some people choose rotary? Well, same thing..why Ferrari is sticking to normally aspirated V12 when others are going turbo? You can answer that yourself :driver: [/QUOTE]
