everytime i see this sort of topic it just makes me laugh.
Rotaries ARE NOT unreliable, i repeat rotaries ARE NO unreliable.
If you thrash your rotary, do burnouts, dont check the oil, and generally dont look after it then yes they will become reliable. If you actually check the oil every 1000km, get it services and tuned every 5000km and dont drive like an idiot your rotary will last just as long as any other car.
i have owned my FC for 5 years, done around 60,000kms and never had 1 issue with it, its the most reliable car i have ever owned.

Rotaries seems to be unreliable only if you don't own one.
If more people have/had one, we can change the "fact" that rotaries are unreliable.
I have yet to own a FD, but I love my FC's, best bang for buck for a sports car in the 2nd gen price range. I couldn't find another car with a better balanced chassis, better output, and having the right wheels driving for a better price.
Best part was, if it does pop, a replacement engine is relatively cheap compared to all popular swaps. Gas consumption is on par with boosted piston engines with similar output. No complaints there.
Lastly, I'd like to recommend getting rotary work and advice at the following shops that actually helped me instead of other rotary shops that seems to get their solutions/repairs from a magic 8-ball.
RPM MOTORSPORTS - Joe
CANJAM AUTO - Stewart or Richard
MAZDEES - Dave
