I think it's also worth mentioning - in the Rotax' favour - that mixture control is automatic, thus presenting an aviation newcomer straight out of a modern car with one archaic control less to deal with (or not) or complain about. I also think they start more readily than a Lyconental when cold, and believe they (must) use (cheaper?) automotive oil as a lubricant.
