Engine and Transmission are easy enough to fix and work on....

But if you ever need a NEW rear end be ready for the DRIFT tax!!!

Bad gas mileage, engine rebuilds at not quite "frequent" but more frequent than a standard piston engine, premixing oil. It's not exactly "expensive" but more expensive than most I'd argue.

This is proving to be more expensive than intended

>>16122532
Dude rear ends are always expensive, you can get a disc to disc GTS rear end for like $350 CAD, what are you bitching about lol? For my Tacoma, a new rear end is like $450 ish

>>16122551
Most sports cars get poor mpg.
My FC got 25 freeway. Averaged 19-20.
Rebuilds ever 200k miles is fine. Or turbo at 150k miles.
Would take over a decade or two to accomplish that.

>>16122532
Second post almost best post, how much did you get her for?

>>16122551
>Bad gas mileage
Similar to its competitors. FC turbo gets better mileage than A70 turbo.
>engine rebuilds at not quite "frequent" but more frequent than a standard piston engine
Not unless you have your "" Honda mechanic "" friend tune it and blow it up. 200,000+ miles isn't unreasonable from an FC.
>premixing oil
It's less than a dollar per tank of gas. Who gives a shit?
>It's not exactly "expensive" but more expensive than most I'd argue.
You're free to argue that all you want, but it won't change the fact that you're wrong.

Yup, I'm on /o/.

I own one and it's only really expensive if you don't keep up with regular maintenance.

>>16122621
If you think in terms of opportunity cost then the extra effort that goes into maintaining a rotary makes it definitely more expensive than other similar cars. There's a reason rotaries have such notoriety for being expensive cars to own, and most rotary owners I know admit that you need at least as much money as the value of the car itself to keep it running.

>>16122569

ALL cars are expensive to own if you let someone else turn your wrenches.

>>16122674
>maintaining a rotary
You mean doing the same things you do with any other car?
I bought one as my first car at 16 years old. DD'd it for 7 years on minimum wage. Wasnt expensive

>>16122551
>caring about gas mileage.

>>16122674
Enlighten me, what extra maintenance should I be doing to my 180,000 mile rotary engine that I daily drive? It's never been rebuilt and I don't premix.

Yeah because spending 20-30 seconds every other fill up is so time consuming. People who actually think the maintenance and the cost of upkeep for an FC is high are just retards who put no research into the car and would've destroyed a piston engine just the same anyway.

A rotary is as reliable as you are. If you know how to take care of and take care of it. The cost of maintenance should be minimal. Now gas mileage could be an actual argument for cost but then you wouldn't buy a sports car in the first place

i know it from personal experience

the b5 is even cheaper, and even more expensive to maintain.

>>16123225
Yeah, that's pretty much every German car, except for the ones that are both expensive to buy and maintain.

>>16122550
my popop had one of these.
It literally broke down ALL THE FUCKING TIME

Brand new too and he took care of it

Not a car, but literally any motorcycle

Even a bulletproof motorcycle with shaft drive, a dry clutch or separate clutch system, and gear driven cams that you do your own valve checks on will slowly eat at you in tire costs
