Rotary engines can last amazingly long if you take care of them properly. My friend has a white fc but it's just too bad he's a dumbass and has never checked his oil even once. It's only been me and my brother taking care of his car. But the thing is really fun. It handles amazingly and stays in total control when it's sideways.

P.S. Do a whole bunch of research before going off and modding it.
