I wouldnt worry about reliability with the RX8, I have some colleagues who work at a rotary specialist near Chester (lindop bros') and they have seen RX8's with over 150k on them still producing linear compression values across the board.
These may become very good value in the next year or so as the old wankel scaremongers talk down about them when 100k+ RX8s become more common (which frankly is a good thing as i'd love to pick one up once i start to sprog. and coupes are less family friendly!)
The 2nd gen RX7's (non turbo) are usually good for at least 100k+, so I think Mazda must have made some decent strength tips on the RX8 (a long time coming.) We haven't seen many RX7 FC's with 150k+ though so that's unlikely.
