ME—im just an old fashioned regular motorist who runs a simple trusty LEXUS 450 H SPORT. I get 35 mpg with a range of over 450 miles per tankful .
whilst i bow to your superior engineering knowledge —i simply have to rely on common sense !!!!
Nowhere in the ad for the Mazda SUV with a rotory Hi-brid does it tell me the distance i can travel on a tankful of fuel and a full charge [ tells me i can travel 53 miles on a full electric charge — which hardly fills me with confidence if i want to travel the continent, niethr could i find the final price ????
Nah— think i will stick to the trusty Lexus — while it didnt change my life ,i enjoy driving it and i do have every confidence in its performance and reliability with enough filling stations to satisfy my needs both at home and abroad.

Its horses for courses Jackie. Whats your average journey distance, bet its less than 53 miles. How much does your 450 mile tankful cost ?

Mazda MX 30 REV 282.5 mpg Total Range Electric and onboard fuel over 400 miles. Starts at 31K which for a range extended EV is pretty good. Would I buy one, NAH I'll stick with the diesel Porsche.

Honest to murgatroyd i did try with due diligence to find figures on the Mazda rotory—- but failed miserably.
i do apologise for not believing there was any car manufacturers anywhere fooling with a rotory—— i was wrong [often am -but loathe to admit it].
if it comes anywhere near 400 miles using under 2 gallons of fuel i would buy one tomorrow although the fact that you would not buy one and prefer the diesel Porky does not exactly fill me with confidence.

I'm afraid it's the decal on the front and has nothing to do with the diesel or rotary.
