Wonder where the "you gotta keep up with oil changes to keep a rotary happy" comes from. Yes, they are good, but that's not the real killer of the engines in these cars.

Seemed more like a cut paste type article or nothing original or out of the ordinary. I expected to read about where to look for rust etc...etc...

Yes. Confirmed by fellow member j9fd3s. “so JM1FD........... is a base manual transmission, NU vintage red with E3 Tan leather. original engine was 13BE 107843. car was built 7/24/1992 and sold new 12/01/1993. its fairly late in the model run, which is good.”Leather was an option in Base models.
