Yes, aren't we all just so *cool* because we can dump on the new, uniformed guy.
Wesley:
It actually requires very little extra care, it's just that the couple things it does require are very important:
1) As sunilseru said, you have to keep on top of the oil level a little more than in other cars, but it's no big deal.
2) Be careful not to shut the engine off while it's still cold, it can cause flooding, which, in a rotary, is Bad(tm).
3) Get the engine up to redline (actually any high revs) while driving from time to time, it's actually good for it.
4) If you live anywhere where snow is an issue, make sure to get snow tires.
That's pretty much it. Pretty odious, huh?
