Well...glad you're okay, but don't disown Mazdas 'cuz of it. FCs are more durable, in my opinion.
1st Gens in my opinion look flimsy!
Four inches or not, it depends on the kind of tree you hit. 20mph would not cause the tree to have jammed half into your engine bay.
Bashing him, guys, won't help.. if he wants to be done with Mazdas, let him. It's his decision.

The 12A was a "bored-out" version of the 10A - the rotor diameter was the same, but the depth was increased by 10 mm (0.4 in) to 70 mm (2.8 in). Each of its two rotors displaced 573 cc for a total of 1146 cc.
damn I was 2 off and yes they round down why is it called 12A... who cares but its roughly a 1.2L you dont need to be exact
The 13B is the most widely-produced engine. It was the basis for all future Mazda Wankel engines, and was produced for almost 30 years. The 13B is no relation to the 13A. Instead, it is a lengthened version of the 12A, having 80 mm (3.1 in) thick rotors. It had the largest displacement yet at 654 cc, for a total of 1308 cc.
just bareally 1.3L

Wankel engines
Mazda is the only producer of successful Wankel engines, positioning them as a prime sports car powerplant. All of Mazda's Wankels are based on their first design of the 1960s, though there have been significant developments over the four decades since.
Wankel family - 1.0 L-2.0 L Wankel (1967–present)
10A - 1.0 L (1967–1973)
10B - 1.0 L (1968–1972)
13A - 1.3 L (1970–1972)
12A - 1.1 L (1970–1985)
13B - 1.3 L (1973–2002)
20B - 2.0 L three-rotor (1990–1996)
RENESIS - 1.3 L (2004–)

I am sorry to hear you wrecked your car, and it sucks that you are now done with them. I can understand though, I suppose.

I disagree on the 13B being the most popular,most built rotary mazda made.I would think they sold way more 1st gen RX-7's than any other model,and they were mostly 12A's,not to mention the other cars Mazda made with the 12A.I could be wrong though,I am married with children.
