A friend/colleage of mine has one - and yes it is a lovely car - but it doesn't seem to behave the same as a normal flooded engine. It still wont start, either if its turned over for a long time or even if its left sitting for a couple of hours. The end result is that "Mazda Assistance" come out and it leaves on the back of a truck to have the ECU reset at the dealer. 11 times in 2 years! It may be a fault with her particular can but the dealer says thats not the case.
Yep the guy next door got a RX8 was going out, forgot mobile, stopped car 50yards from drive, gets mobile, back into car and no go…. The AA where at it for over 2 hours before it went off on flat bed to dealer.
Now has a Golf.

I read about this and Diesel aero engines some years ago, and I thought it was quite neat.
A supercharged diesel two stroke with two pistons per cylinder.
The germans used it in the Junkers Jumo in WW2.
