Same is true for any engine. The colder the intake air the better. Te best thing for a wankel is to keep it maintained, and put some good oil in with the petrol to help the rotor tips. And keep the ignition system healthy. Only thing that'll really kill it in short order is detonation.... Eventually, it'll wear out. I'm pretty sure mine is into a healthy middle-age now.
It's really only a problem from the last ten years as pollution control systems and engine management have gotten more and more complex to eke every last ounce of efficiency out of the engine. Which adds weight. Along with all the safety and luxury features even the most basic car demads. That, and it basically being an ongoing revenue stream for struggling dealers. It doesn't help that most Irish people tend to treat maintenance as the thing that comes 4-years after you buy a brand new car and it finally grinds to a halt in clouds of smoke.
That said, there's a reason Dacia's are getting popular in the last year or two. They're an honest, 4-wheels and an Engine form of transport that's big enough to put human beings in without feeling cramped inside and doesn't apologise for giving you the ability to get where you go. Thalt makes it mighty.
