Your question is simple, reliability? Rotary powered vehicles can be reliable if maintained. How long something will last is relative & depends on the mods, driver, mileage & how the car is being maintained. These cars are old & there will be issues that need to be addressed. I personally don't see this as a good first car to be honest. Gas mileage is definitely on the shitty side, insurance will most likely be high for you, the car is a two seater so consider passengers to be out of the question & can be expensive. Listen to your parents, they no what's up.

BTW I merged your threads no need for a bunch pertaining to the same info.
