I loved my Rx-7 with the rotary. 1.3L that produced 120bhp at 6,500rpm Very fun to drive. My wife just bought a new Miata. Once I shoehorned my ass into it, it was even funner than the Rx.
IMO rotary = junk.
They make alot of noise with their high rev's, making the driver/rider feel like there is lots there but reality is, poor torque and fuel hog.
I like Ryan but seriously he has to make youtube points with his content.

Yeah, the mileage was the disappointing thing about the motor. For the size it should have been better than mid-20s. The torque thing wasn't really a thing since it would rev so quickly and get into the power band. Kinda like 2 stroke? Or my kid's R6. I knew people that complained about no power. They were driving them like V-8s, and keeping the RPMs low. Have to wind them up.
