As for Honda motors - a friend of mine on this forum has gone through multiple motors in his Civic DX before hitting 100K. They die easily.
Im going to sound like a fanboy for this but saying honda motors die easily is pretty ignorant and false. The only excuse for them dying is lack of maintenance or people not knowing how to drive.

The rotary on the other hand is flawed by design in that the apex seals simply don't provide reliable service in a majority of the motors, especially when driven hard. Sure there are some with high miles but are typically owned by the same people that put 250k on a camry too, they baby them. When driven consistently in higher RPMs, don't count on the rotary to provide high-mileage service.
