Problem with the rotary engine is it is put together sideways, rather than top down like a piston engine. This means anytime anything breaks inside it, you need to take the whole engine out to repair it.
Lost of fun, but they use tons of fuel!

Tons of fuel, actually rotary engines are more fuel efficient.
However if you WOT every time mpg will go down a lot.
