Mazda, or any other manufacturer with a new engine, wouldn't leave the engine almost untested before putting it into any production cars... beforehand, they'd have a good idea of wear rates, and all sorts of other crap... check the link:

Did someone say "RENESIS RELIABILITY?"

There are old RX-7s on the road with over 300,000 miles on them. The only rotaries that were unreliable were the FD's with the twin turbos on it.. too much heat and broken apex seals = bad bad bad.
