It's just the rotary throwing a wrench in the works for most people.


Possibly, but without the rotary engine, I wouldn't own one most likely.

That's an interesting opinion. If it wasn't a rotary, I don't think it would be anywhere near as much fun! That's exactly what makes this car. Most folks on this forum bought it because it's a rotary!

If there was no rotary it would not be an "RX". Mazda is a narrow focused car company anyway, they sell the Zoom Zoom philosophy even in the MPV and Tribute. I know it's a business but I'm for one, glad to see a conglomerate cater to people who want sportiness but need practicality as well.

I am glad that my car has a rotary. That right there guarantees I won't be seeing them all over the roads due to others having apprehensions about the 8.
