Just so you know, your car has no cylinders and some people here will be very harsh or make fun of you if you ever repeat that statement.

pretty sure by "cylinders" he meant the faces of the rotors ... our cars have 2 rotors, 3 faces each, so 6 faces or "cylinders" (technically they do the job of a cylinder/piston)..
he was running a compression test and probably thought you knew absolutely zero about a rotary engine so maybe he was trying to dumb it down for you
how many miles are on the car, do you still have the warranty?
